Is it possible to disable the TV Guide when switching on my Sky box?

[Walt+Jabsco]

When I switch on my Sky box, the TV Guide automatically appears

Is there an option for the TV Guide not to automatically be displayed every time I turn on my Sky box?

Thank you in advance

Hi @Walt+Jabsco 

When you switch on the Q box you should get the Home page and this cannot be changed.

Do you have Sky Q?

[NickNewark]

That's a No. 

[Walt+Jabsco]

Yes I have Sky Q. I have to turn off the TV Guide whenever I switch it on, as I prefer to just select the channel I need manually.

Hi @Walt+Jabsco 

Suggest you take another look when you switch the box on.

It is the Home page that you get and not the TV Guide.

[Walt+Jabsco]

Yes - either way - it's the home page/TV guide that I don't want displayed as it means I have to turn it off every time

It's one press of the dismiss button.

Unfortunately @Walt+Jabsco SKY have a different view.

It is a deliberate decision that we must always have the Home page where they can push any content they wish

As per the first reply, it can't be changed.

Hi @Walt+Jabsco 

Best thing to do when you press Standby to turn the Q box on just follow that by pressing the Dismiss button  (left of Home button).

When the Q box comes on it will be on the last channel watched and not the Home Screen 

[Walt+Jabsco]

Yes, obviously. Which is why I asked the question about how I can avoid doing that.

@Walt+Jabsco 

It's one button press so not time consuming.

Hi @Walt+Jabsco   You can't. That is unless you apply a 3rd party solution like a harmony hub. When I switch on Sky Q using a Harmony Elite it always goes to the last channel viewed because I have programmed the Dismiss button into the start sequence.

I asked the question - on a forum to help Sky users - as I don't want to have to press another button every time I turn on my Sky box

Although the replies aren't what you wanted to hear I'm afraid the answers remain the same.
