I’m a Sky insider and millions of viewers need to know my easy TV hacks – there’s a button to boost picture quality too

A SKY insider has revealed some of the best voice control tricks for TVs that some viewers may have totally missed.

It’s already pretty common knowledge that you can find any show just by saying it.

On Sky Glass, you can say “Hello Sky” without lifting a finger to prompt it.

Alternatively, you can press the mic button on your remote – which is also how it works on Sky Stream too.

But it turns out there are a lot more ways you can use your voice to navigate faster.

Matt Rye, Sky‘s Director of Product Management, has exclusively shared the best with The Sun.

Adding to your Playlist

Playlist allows you to save favourite shows or movies in one tidy places.

Press and hold the voice button on your remote, then say “add to playlist” to quickly add it.

If you have a personal playlist, all you need to do is specify which playlist you want to add it to.

Fast forward

Manually fast forwarding can be a chore.

But there’s a way to quickly jump ahead using your voice.

Just say, “Skip three minutes” or any other time.

You can go backward too by saying something like “Rewind one hour”.

Finding your remote

For those with Sky Glass, you can use your voice to track down a lost remote too.

“If you’ve lost your remote down the back of the sofa, or the kids have hidden it somewhere, you can ask Glass to find it for you,” Matt explains.

Just say “Hello Sky, find my remote” and the remote will start beeping so you can hear where it is.
