Obviously, be absolutely sure before resetting settings or factory reset, as some stuff will be wiped.

How do you refresh apps on Sky TV?

  • Press the Home button on your remote
  • Go down to Settings but don't press the Select button

  • Now press Select

If you want to refresh the apps, select the Apps option.

A message will then appear saying: "Your apps are being refreshed."

It can take up to 24 hours for apps to completely refresh.
