No TV Guide Button?

I just moved from Sky Q to Sky Stream. Did Sky really not include a dedicated TV Guide button on the remote? It's like 4 presses to get to the TV Guide.

Press and hold the Microphone button on the remote and say "TV Guide".

 

Its kind of been designed to primarily work for voice commands

Yeah I was aware you can do that but a TV Guide button would be better. It's a shame they didn't think to do a long press on the home button to go to the TV guide.

Re: No TV Guide Button?

I'm totally new to Sky as I just moved into a house with no TV aerial. Im not enjoying the experiance at all and the missing TV guide button is only the start of it. When you do navigate to the guide, it opens at the very start, not at the actual channel I was on. You can not page skip the guide when scrolling, you have to scroll every entry one at a time and why is the channel change  on the large round navigation button and not on its own rocker at the other side from the volume change rocker like every other remote control. Finally I think the Mandatory Daytime Protection PIN (Ofcom fault, not Sky's) preventing me from easily channel surfing might persaude me to get an aerial installed and ditch the Stream box. Glad I took it on a rolling month contract. I'll give it a couple of weeks to see if I can get used to it.

You can skip down in pages by pressing and holding the down button when in the TV guide and go to different days by pressing and holding the right button and selecting the day from the pop up.

 

Slightly hidden features. Sky should really do a tour on the device it's self.
