YOUR Sky TV remote has a hidden trick – and it could save you loads of time.
If you’ve got Sky Q, you can instantly track down a lost remote.
It means you’ll never lose it again – unless you’ve accidentally left it miles from your home.
But if you’ve dropped it down the back of the sofa or accidentally put it in the kitchen bin, you’ll be able to uncover it.
The remote has a built-in speaker that can beep if you’ve lost it.
All you need to do is activate the feature using your Sky box.
The remote control will beep loudly for 30 seconds, allowing you to quickly locate it.
It means you’ll spend less time frantically turning sofa cushions upside down.

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.
