Change the Source 

 

From time-to-time, you'll need to change source or input on your TV. This might be so you can use an app on your Smart TV or play a games console. You don't need to swap remotes, simply press TV followed by Help to scroll through the options. Once finished, just press the Sky Button to continue controlling your Sky box.

 

Page Up and Down

 

When you have over 350 Box Sets, 1000 movies and 10,000 Sky Store options to scroll through you can get a very sore thumb. To make things a little easier press Channel Down to skip through menus a page at a time.

 

TV on standby

 

Put that second remote down. This can all be done using the Sky Remote, press TV on your Sky remote and then the standby button to turn the TV on or off. After turning on the TV, press Sky to regain control of the usual Sky functions.
