Looking for ways to remotely operate sky tv from a different location

[Chris130]

I am looking at ways of being able to operate sky tv from another location for my mum. She has dementia and has issues with the tv timing off and not being able to switch back on again.  I have found means of remotely switching tv back on but now need to look at the sky packages. This causes a lot of destress to my mum which I'm trying to reduce.

The only device I know of able to facilitate remote control of a Sky box is a Slingbox but they're no longer available,  I'm afraid. I don't know of any other solution for this.
