From box-set binges to bus-based streaming, the way we watch TV has changed a lot since the days when we only had three channels.Sky has long been at the heart of this telly revolution, but its latest iteration, Sky Q, takes things to the next level.You can watch your shows across multiple devices, do so in and out of the home, record about a billion shows at once, and even stream 4K movies.All of which is great - but it does also make it a tad more complicated, particularly when Sky keeps adding new features.Want to make the most of it? Our tips and tricks will turn you into a streaming savant. If you’ve forked out for a 4K telly, you’re going to want to make sure you’re watching as much of it as possible. Thankfully, Sky’s UHD library is growing by the day, and if you’re watching one of the broadcaster’s own shows like Riviera, Fortitude or The Trip to Spain, it should be available in 4K.You can make sure you’re getting the full UHD experience by going to Settings Setup Preferences On demand default download format and setting it to UHD. If your chosen format isn’t available for the show you’re watching, the next best format will be downloaded instead.

If you have a router/modem combination box, run nmap on the LAN side IP. Hundreds of millions of cable modems could be hacked due to 'Cable Haunt'. Yet, back in January 2013, HD Moore, working for Rapid 7, found millions of. And passwords both from the router and from USB flash drived plugged into the router. Sky gave us a free Wifi-Ethernet adapter as their box was ethernet only. Is the Sky adaptor USB (if not, how does it connect to the box?) As for TVs, yes most. Hacking the Sky Wireless Connector Blog Chris Harvey tl;dr.

Watching telly on the go is one of the best bits about Sky Q. All you need is the Sky Q app (Android/iOS, £free), and you can watch live and and on-demand TV wherever you have a wireless or 3G connection.If you’re home with the Sky Q, you can also use Sky's Fluid Viewing feature, which allows you to start watching something on your main TV and finish it off on your device.This will only work with recorded shows and not live TV, but here’s the hack – if you know you might bail to bed half way through the show, start recording it and you can pick it up once you’re tucked up. You don’t have to sign up to Sky’s Ultimate On Demand package to use Netflix on your box. If you’ve already got an account the app’s there for you to log in to as normal and use as if you’re on any other streaming box or smart TV.It means you don’t get quite the same level of integration between the two services. Netflix shows won’t appear in your recommendations alongside Sky ones, for example, but use the search button on the remote and it will bring back results from both catalogues, you just need to switch between the two lists. If you’re anything like us, you’ll be constantly inundated with recommendations for shows you absolutely have to watch. Thankfully, a recent update to Sky Q has increased the number of channels the box can record from five to six.To enable this, go to Settings Setup Preferences Maximum number of recordings, and up it.

There’s a catch though: enable six channels and you lose the live preview feature in the mini guide, and you can’t use split-screen mode on Sky Sports. But at least you’ll never miss a recommendation again. While Sky has loads of content that’s perfect for kids, there’s still plenty on the service that isn't aimed at the younger viewer. So, if you have sensitive eyes in the house, go to Settings Parental and control what can be accessed using a PIN code.

Then download the Sky Kids app to your mobile or tablet, and keep them occupied while you’re catching up on Game of Thrones.A new has been teased as coming this year, but is yet to launch at the time of writing. We'll update you as soon as it has. Last year's update for the Sky Q Touch Remote has brought much-improved voice search to Sky Q. It’s got nothing on Alexa in terms of intelligence, but if you say “Tom Hanks movies with five star ratings”, the box will automatically present the likes of Forrest Gump, Apollo 13 and Philadelphia.To get chatting, hold the mic button on the right side of the Sky Q Touch Remote to activate, and start talking.

Voice search is set to get even smarter later this year too, with more personalised results based on what you've watched previously. If you’re torn between watching two can’t-miss matches in the Premier League, Sky Sports now lets Sky Q users get the best of both worlds, and watch a split screen of two live streams at once.To enable it, simply press the red button while on a Sky Sports channel to get the option to customise your screen, with an option of the live sport available.You can also choose to get video highlights of a previous match or sporting event while you watch the live stream of another. Multitasking at its best. Picture the scene: you’re watching the first half of Monday Night Football but plan to switch over when University Challenge starts.

Since Sky ditched the reminder function the only way to make sure you don’t miss the first starter question is to keep flicking between the two channels. Unless you’ve memorised their numbers that’s a few too many button presses than is acceptable in 2018. #firstworldproblems, right?Save yourself a few thumb calories by swiping from left to right on the remote’s touch pad and it’ll bring up the last channel you were watching. Just select it to switch back and forth.

You’ll never miss a goal or a question about cytogenetics again. It’s all too easy during a mass deleting session to accidentally send your favourite yet-to-be-watched show along with them.

Thankfully Sky Q has a handy feature that means you can rescue it from the depths of your hard drive in just a few clicks.Head to the Recordings section of Sky Q and then scroll down to the section that says ‘Deleted’. In here you’ll find all your recently deleted shows, which you can then choose to undelete, or – if your struggling for space – deleting them forever will free up some much needed megabytes.

If you’ve got a speaker system that supports Dolby’s wall-bouncing Atmos sound tech, Sky Q has some 4K movies and sports that you can watch to make the most of it - but you’ll need to make sure it’s switched on first.First, make sure your surround-sound system is connected via HDMI and not optical cable. Then, in Settings Setup you’ll find the Audio Visual menu. Under Digital Audio Output HDMI choose Dolby Digital Plus and you’re good to go. Atmos isn’t available on everything, but you’ll notice the difference when it is. Although Sky Q supports AirPlay and Bluetooth music playback from your device, you can now cut out the middle man and access Spotify directly via the Sky Q menu.The new feature doesn’t even require you to be a Spotify Premium subscriber to take advantage – you can use the free, ad-supported service that allows you to shuffle through a number of pre-selected playlists at no cost whatsoever.Of course, Premium users can log in to their account and browse at their leisure, with access to all your created playlists as well as Spotify’s own recommendations.
