Sky TV is an incredibly popular streaming service which offers hundreds of channels and dozens of built-in streaming services. For those who aren't especially tech-savvy, finding the right channel or seeking out your previously recorded programmes can be a tricky and daunting task, Chronicle Live reports.
The good nws is that Sky remotes do a built in trick or two which can make the process that little bit easier, and hidden in plain sight is a one button which can take you straight to where you need to be that you may not have even noticed.
The Daily Star reports that eagle-eyed Sky TV subscribers have noticed that the 'Sky' logo at the top of the remote isn't just there for show—it's actually a very useful button. Next time you load up your Sky Q box, make sure to press the logo because it gives you instant easy access to all your recordings, including movies and TV shows.

The logo button works from anywhere within the Sky interface, meaning you can get to your recordings even when you're watching a show or scrolling through TV channels. And that's not the only hack on your Sky TV remote.
If you want to get back to the previous channel you're on without having to type in a number, you just have to press the blue arrow key on the remote. You can also hit the voice control button on the Sky Q remote and tell your TV what to do.
For example, if you want to fast forward five minutes, you can just instruct the TV to 'skip five minutes' or even 'restart' the show.
And, if you ever lose the remote, you just have to press and hold the Q button on the Sky TV box. The remote will beep with a loud alarm to help you find it, just like Apple's 'Find My iPhone'.
