Sky Q remote for Sky Stream

[AamirArrar]

Hi,

I just wanted to check if anybody has tried using Sky Q remote with Sky Stream as I have just got Sky Stream but I hate it that there are no separate channel change buttons and there is no way to go directly to live tv from remote as was the case on Sky Q or Virgin Stream. Sky Q does have these buttons and want to check if that remote works with Sky Stream and does Live TV button works?

I'm sure I read somewhere that after a recent update you can no longer use q remotes on stream/glass

Hi @AamirArrar  welcome to the forum. I use a Sky Q remote as a secondary remote.  I used to be able to set it up as bluetooth but since the last update QS030 I have found it only works in IR mode.  This doesn't bother me as it is not my main remote.

The Glass / Stream remote is pretty poor quality compared to the Q remote.

Thank you for the response. Does live tv button and channel change buttons of this remote work with Sky Stream?

@AamirArrar  The "SKY" button at the top of the Q remote doesn't do anything.  Also, as the Q remote  only works in the IR mode it also won't control the volume on my Samsung TV which needs to be a bluetooth signal.
