Sky - Remote Control Review
Sky - Remote Control is an Android app that lets you turn your smartphone into a handy remote control for your Sky set top box. It does all the functionalities that an ordinary Sky TV remote control can perform, including basic things like channel surfing and adjusting the volume levels.
The app has a simple and intuitive interface, and its setup process is also extremely user-friendly. Once you've completed this step, you can start using the app right away. You can access all the functions by tapping on the buttons you see in the screen, just as if you were using a physical remote control.
One of the most interesting features in this free Sky app is its TV Guide tile, which shows all the programmes available on your subscription. Just select the channel you want to watch and you'll instantly get its full programme information.
Another useful feature is the Planner tile, which offers a complete list of all the recordings and downloads you have scheduled on your Sky box. You can select any of these to view its details, change the date and time, or delete it completely.
This app has a lot of features to offer Sky+ users, and its accessibility is top-notch as it's fully compatible with the VoiceOver and TalkBack screen readers. It's a very practical and useful app, especially for people with disabilities who have trouble reaching or pressing traditional remote controls.
