TRY THESE SKY TRICKS! Got Sky Q? There are some handy tricks worth knowing about...

Find your lost TV remote If you can't find your Sky Q remote, don't panic. Just press the Sky Q logo on the front of your TV box. It's actually a button that will trigger your TV remote's built-in ringer.

You'll get 30 seconds of beeping to find where you've dropped it. Hint: it's probably under the sofa cushion. Search movies by quotes You might have already used voice search for controlling TV playback – but your remote's microphone has another clever trick.

It turns out that you can say movie quotes into the remote and Sky will find the film for you. This is handy if you can't remember the name of a top movie or show. Here's a list of movie quotes to try on Sky .

Save lost recordings Have you ever deleted something you'd recorded on Sky, only to regret it later? Or maybe someone in your family removed something without telling you – sparking a massive row. Don't panic: you can get them back. Just go to Recordings > Manage > Deleted and then simply hit Undelete on the item that you want to resurrect.

If you do that, it'll return to your Recordings section as good as new. Picture Credit: Sky.
