Simply press and hold the rewind or fast forward button for at least two seconds and you'll be taken instantly to the furthest possible point of your programme in the direction you chose.

Control Amplifier (and Switch volume keys from TV to AMP and back):You can use your Sky remote to control audio-visual equipment, such as home cinema surround sound systems. We dont currently support sound bars, but the manufacturer codes below may work.
