handheld controller turns into a magic wand that can unlock all sorts of features to improve your TV
viewing. To get the best out of the Sky Remote, you'll need to program it to your television. This lets you
use the device to directly control your telly - much easier than using two (or more!) remotes.
It's a quick process, but you need to know a four-digit code to get everything working in the right way. Our
simple guide will clear the clouds away and let you enjoy a perfect Sky.
