Is Sky Glass controllable from your mobile phone?

My Dad has sky tv but cannot understand the process of choosing the channels he wants to watch as he is 94 and has dementia. I've heard that if I get him a sky glass TV I could remotely control it for him from my phone. Is this true?

TV these days is not dementia friendly as even if he uses freeview the process of selecting channels can be confusing.

I'm not aware of such an app that can control Glass directly.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

Glass/Stream is worse in that respect because the Home page is crammed full of other content, with the actual channel list not visible.
