Reminder for all Sky TV viewers – easy hack could save your Christmas Day

A CHRISTMAS crisis! You’ve just settled down to watch a festive film and you can’t find the Sky remote.

We’ve all been there and it’s a nightmare.

Worse still if you’ve had a Christmas tipple and a heavy lunch – hunting for a remote control is the last thing you want to do.

Thankfully your Sky box has a clever trick to help you find your lost remote.

It means you end up wasting less time searching, and spend more time with your favourite Christmas movie.

And you might even avoid a row over who was using it last.

All you need to do is activate the remote-finding feature using your Sky box.

The remote control will beep loudly for 30 seconds, allowing you to quickly locate it.

How to use Find My Remote on Sky Q

If you’ve lost your Sky Q remote control, don’t panic.

First make sure your house is quiet, so you can hear the beep.

Then press the Q button on the front of your Sky Q box.

After a few seconds, your paired Sky Q Touch / Sky Q remote with Voice Control will beep.

This beeping will only last for 30 seconds, so if you don’t find it in that time, you’ll need to restart the process.

If it doesn’t work at all then it’s possible that your Sky Q remote is out of battery.

It’s also possible that the Sky Q remote is no longer in the building, and can’t be reached by the Sky Q box.

But that’s unlikely to be the case on Christmas Day.

Unless someone chucked it out with the wrapping paper…
