Feature request: Power on straight to last channel watched Sky stream

[LilDeE1]

Could you add a feature to Sky Stream that enables it to power on from standby or off state directly showing the last channel watched, instead of the menu? After a tough day, it would be great to switch on the TV and start watching right away without having to go through the menu first.

@LilDeE1  I don't think that's ever going to happen as sky wants customers to see what's available to them rather than going straight to a channel

Not quite the same but when the menu opens press left then select to go straight to your last watched channel or app. I think you'll find this becomes muscle memory quite quickly.

Can also press the microphone button and say the name of the channel you want to watch, which I find tends to be quicker than navigating through the EPG.

@LilDeE1   I guess this is why you can't please everyone.  The fact that it goes to the menu when turned on is a feature I partially like.  I previously had SkyQ and disliked it going straight to a live channel.  I actually like to see the Home Screen the art work featuring each program are very attractive however the main reason is that at certain times there can be others in the house asleep and if I forgot with SkyQ to turn the volume down the tv would come on often too loud.

Yes. One of my favourite features.
