Sky dumped reminders years ago when the Q box was introduced in 2016. It was a much requested feature on Q for those switching from Sky+ HD but it has never been introduced and is highly unlikely to ever appear on the Stream/Glass platform.

As observed above, someone at Sky (presumably in a senior position) decided a decade ago that 'Reminders' were a legacy of live linear television consumption which no longer applied.

Fair comment @Hicksy1 most TV's have the reminder feature but it's us who decide to have a Sky Q box connected or Sky Stream or opt for the Sky Glass

The reminder feature on your tv is still available even if Sky Q is connected you still get the pop up feature and

If the tv is smart enough it  will change over to the channel you set the reminder for unless it's a Sky Channel then you have to select it manually or you could use voice control and say " Watch Channel 406" 

I have reminders set up for this weekend's F1 Canadian GP

They are also set to record via Sky Q so you can set reminders regardless if you have Sky Q or Sky Stream depending on your tv that is

Strangely it is more relevant with Glass/stream particularly as TCM movies  and the Great set of channels need to be watched in real time as they do not "record" via the play list.

Re: Reminder

Such a good thing the reminder is can't believe they wouldn't use it as it doesn't make sense

Re: Reminder

I am most disappointed there's no series reminder or record function. I don't watch TV often. Got this Tv earlier this year. I'm missing the opportunity to catch up on series on my off days.
