People are just realising their Sky TV remote has four hidden button tricks that save you loads of time
YOUR Sky remote has loads of hidden features that make life easier.
The buttons often do a lot more than you think.
For example, did you know the fast forward button does much more than skip through content?
One of the best places these buttons come in handy is in the Sky TV guide.
It'll make trawling through a lot faster.

And conversely, if you hit the rewind button you are instantly pushed back 24 hours.
It's also worth knowing that the play button takes you to right now - perfect if you get too deep into the guide.
This could shave minutes off your daily browsing, if you remember to use the shortcuts.
Away from the TV guide, there is one other button many viewers tend not to realise is there.

The secret button in question is none other than the Sky logo itself.
It saves you trawling through your box's various menus to find the content you've saved for later.

It's a simple trick but one that many people don't know – even if they've had Sky Q for years.
