People constantly losing the remote will be pleased to know a special trick to find it is included in the haul of goodies.

From next month, you'll be able to say, "Hello Sky, where’s my remote" to your Sky Glass and the remote will start beeping.

Anyone with Sky Q will be familiar with this hack already.

It's thanks to updates that the newly titled Aurora Display is rolling out now, and should be with all customers by the end of the week.     

Sky says the change will enhance the existing Vivid Mode from the Options menu, giving a visually punchier picture with higher levels of contrast and colour saturation, for visuals that pop.

All Sky TV platforms will also see the new ITVX app land pretty soon.
