Using mobile as remote

My sky Q remote has broken and I have another ordered but in the mean time I wanted to use my ojone as the remote. In the sky Q and sky go app I should be able to go to Settings, then Devices & access my sky box using my phone which is attached to my account. But the only options is sky then devices is the option to delete my devices. I was on the phone nearly 40 mins with a technician trying to figure out why I can't see that option. I have re installed all the apps again incase it needed updating, but still had no look.

Well this is certainly vying for most confusing thread in history.

Yes, under the Sky Go app there's a small icon in the top right-hand side, this is the remote, click on this & it's the same layout as a standard remote.

hi @DiMach6695 

 

This is an  old discussion, the android version was updated to include the virtual remote a couple of months or so ago, thus it should be availble for you.

The post above on the 21st April says the Android version was already released back then.

I can assure you I have updated the app and it's still not showing on the My Sky app for android, otherwise I wouldn't have asked.
