Amazing Sky TV hack will change how you listen to music for good

DID YOU know that you can stream your favourite music straight from your smartphone to your Sky Q box?

It’s a great way to ditch using your rubbish phone speaker in favour of your TV’s far superior sound system.

The feature works through either Bluetooth or AirPlay, meaning you can stream your tunes wirelessly from anywhere in your home.

It was highlighted by TikTok user chellerz1 in a video uploaded on Thursday.

To try it out for yourself, you’ll first need to add your phone or tablet to your Sky Q box.

How to add a device to Sky Q

1. Press Home on your Sky Q remote, select Settings, then Setup.
2. Select Music, then Bluetooth devices, and Add a new Bluetooth device.
3. Turn on Bluetooth on your device then follow the on-screen instructions to confirm the connection.
4. Select Add this device on your Sky Q box.
5. The box name will be the type followed by the last four digits of the serial number, e.g. Sky Q 2TB 1234.

Enable music to be sent to your Sky Q box

The next stage involves enabling music to be sent to your Sky Q box.

1. Press Home on your Sky Q remote, select Settings, then Setup.
2. Select Music, then Allow music to be sent to this box.
3. Select On to allow music to be sent to the box.

How to play music on your Sky Q box

Now that your box is ready to play music, you can stream your favourite tunes to it using Spotify, Apple Music and more.

You can connect up to 12 devices. If you try to add more than this, the one you added first is removed from the list.

On the Spotify app, tap the speaker icon at the bottom left of your display to select a device to play your music through.

Tap the name of your Sky Q box. You can control playback through your device or using your TV remote.

On Apple Music, tap the ‌AirPlay‌ icon to the right of the volume slider to view a list of available devices.

Select the check box next to your Sky Q box.
