Discussion topic: Ability to return to the same channel I was watching when I turned tv off

My father is 98 and not capable of operating the Sky stream remote other than turning tv on and off. Is there anyway of returning to the same programme he was watching when he turned the tv off without going through a number of button presses when turning tv back on?

Hi @Lutontown3

Short answer is no. The only way is once you turn puck on pressing left on your remote will show you last few channels and apps and then the the center button will take you to it. However the home screen will always display when powering on.

The other option is to press and hold the microphone button on the remote and just say the name of the channel, e.g BBC One or Sky News, and it will load that channel.
