Millions of Sky TV fans have missed genius hack you’ll want to use every day

CHECK your Sky TV – it’s got a hidden music hack that you’ll love.

It lets you stream music to your TV straight from your smartphone.

That means you can enjoy your TV’s beefy sound system.

And that should be a decent upgrade over your smartphone’s smaller speaker.

The feature is available for anyone with a Sky TV box.

And it works using Bluetooth or AirPlay on iPhone, so you can stream music wirelessly from anywhere in the home.

The trick was shared by TikTok user  in a video last year that reveals how it works.

You’ll need to add your device to Sky Q, and then you can go right ahead and start playback.

How to add a device to Sky Q

Press Home on your Sky Q remote, select Settings, then Setup.

Select Music, then Bluetooth devices, and Add a new Bluetooth device.

Turn on Bluetooth on your device then follow the on-screen instructions to confirm the connection.

Select Add this device on your Sky Q box.

The box name will be the type followed by the last four digits of the serial number, e.g. Sky Q 2TB 1234.

Enable music to be sent to your Sky Q box

The next stage involves enabling music to be sent to your Sky Q box.

Press Home on your Sky Q remote, select Settings, then Setup.

Select Music, then Allow music to be sent to this box.

Select On to allow music to be sent to the box.

How to play music on your Sky Q box

Now that your box is ready to play music, you can stream your favourite tunes to it using Spotify, Apple Music and more.

You can connect up to 12 devices. If you try to add more than this, the one you added first is removed from the list.

On the Spotify app, tap the speaker icon at the bottom left of your display to select a device to play your music through.

Tap the name of your Sky Q box. You can control playback through your device or using your TV remote.

On Apple Music, tap the ‌AirPlay‌ icon to the right of the volume slider to view a list of available devices.

Select the check box next to your Sky Q box.
