For example, did you know the fast forward button does much more than skip through content?

One of the best places these buttons come in handy is in the Sky TV guide.

It'll make trawling through a lot faster.

Firstly, the fast forward button on a Sky Q remote will zap you forward 24 hours ahead on the guide - so no need to endlessly tap the arrow button.

And conversely, if you hit the rewind button you are instantly pushed back 24 hours.

It's also worth knowing that the play button takes you to right now - perfect if you get too deep into the guide.

This could shave minutes off your daily browsing, if you remember to use the shortcuts.

Away from the TV guide, there is one other button many viewers tend not to realise is there.

It serves a very helpful purpose: bringing up your recorded TV shows and movies.

The secret button in question is none other than the Sky logo itself.

It saves you trawling through your box's various menus to find the content you've saved for later.

Press it to bring up your recordings, which is anything that you have chosen to download and save for later.

It's a simple trick but one that many people don't know – even if they've had Sky Q for years.
