Not having SKY BB has saved me from a fate worse than death!

Is there any way to jump the EPG forward in 24 hours stages as before? I can't see any way to do that.

Hit the sky button, you go straight to recordings. But how do you go straight to the epg?
Wife going bonkers! |

You can add other channels by pressing Home, Settings, then Manual tuning. Enter the details of the channels you wish to add and then save.

I can't understand why people are having problems with Sky Q. I find that if you play around with the remote you can find everything you want to know.

![]() My current bug bear, as I've mentioned numerous times, is the up/down button on the mini guide behaving in a completely opposite manner to the ch+/ch- buttons , as well as the speed scrolling through channels/progamme listing is at least twice as slow as Sky HD.

There needs to be a one button push to go to TV GUIDE, rather than 'Home' then scroll up a few notches,
Like the 'info' banner, not so keen on the way its removed, pressing "i" again would have been more logical ? In TV Guide you can drop down per channel and still see what was on the line above as that now disappears, if you want to remind yourself what is on BBC1 at 9pm and you are looking at BBC2 you have to scroll back up a line..just a niggle |

6. Searching on demand box sets is appalling. You're forced to scroll throug all earlier episodes to get to later ones. There must be a way of skipping to the season you want?
......getting better slowly

dunno if anyone else has had this, and it maybe my TV, but I have eco off on the mini, but if I have the TV switched off for an hour or more, if I switch it back on, I have to 're-select' the HDMI channel that Sky is on. quite annoying. the mini downstairs has suddenly started to have a mind of it own too, green light is on, but no response when tapping the remote buttons, and 'no-signal' on screen, only way I can sort it, is to unplug the mini from the mains and plug it in again
My wife tells me she finds the new TV GUIDE awkward, not as clear as the old guide and user unfriendly. |

Another one for the list. Slow motion is no longer available by pressing and holding the play button

Installed on Thursday. No TV in one room all Friday. Intermittent today. Tv in kitchen has an array of error messages Including "There is a network proximity error on your sky q mini box". Main silver box went bonkers on Thursday night. Been ok since. Not at all impressed.
I can't believe Sky Q was tested in a real house with brick walls. And why can't I get the TVs guide to appear without pressing 7 key strokes? Wife is less than impressed. Now I need to make the call to sky tomorrow to get everything reversed. |

Now I need to make the call to sky tomorrow to get everything reversed. And the tv guide is a lot more strenuous to get to than the 2 button presses of previous epg. Now you have 2 button presses and that calorie busting swipe up. Such a pain!!!! People are gonna be cancelling gym memberships nationwide because of it!!! It's not sky+ HD anymore. It's a new state of the art system and it would be slagged off to high hell if it was the same look with the new added features. Loads of mention of wives on this site too. Boys you all need to man up and tell the bread knife to accept change. |

People generally dislike change. It is also frightening how lazy some people are.
Hilarious to read, so thank you.
