Sky gives remote control powers to its Sky+ Android app, escalates living room warfare

10:08 PM

Sky+ app remote control feature comes to Android

Tuesday 5th February: From today, Sky TV customers will be able to control their TV from any Android smartphone or tablet following the introduction of remote control functionality to the Android version of the Sky+ app. People with an internet-connected Sky+HD box and an Android smartphone or tablet will be able to use their device to change channels as well as pause, play and rewind TV with a quick swipe or tap of their fingers on their device screen.

Sky TV customers can also now manage their planner through the Sky+ app, allowing them to add and delete recordings they have stored on their Sky+HD set-top box, without interrupting viewing on the main TV.

The new update is just the most recent to the popular Sky+ app, which makes it really simple and easy to find out about and plan great TV to watch. Other useful features of the app include being able to browse the entire week's TV through a user-friendly TV Guide, remote record both individual programmes and entire series, get recommendations of other programmes you may like, and manage recording clashes. On Demand listings will join the Android app later this year.

All people need to do to enjoy this latest feature of the Sky+ app is to connect their compatible Sky+HD box to the same WiFi network as their Android device.

Launched in 2009, the Sky+ app has been downloaded more than 5 million times and ranks in the Top 20 Entertainment apps in the App Store. The award-winning* Sky+ app sits alongside a wide range of leading mobile apps available to Sky customers at no extra charge.
