People are just realising there’s an even quicker secret way to skip the ads on your Sky TV

SKY TV subscribers are just realising a special trick that allows you to skip ads even faster.

When you press and hold the fast-forward button there's no telling where you'll end up.

So it becomes a bit of a guessing game.

But there's a clever solution that makes it a lot faster.

Most ad breaks on live TV usually last for around three minutes.

Fortunately your remote has a secret weapon to skip that exact amount.

The trick is to use the voice controls.

And it works on Sky Q, Sky Glass or Sky Stream.

On a Sky Glass TV you don't need the remote, just say "Hello Sky".

On other devices, just press the microphone button on your remote.

Then say, "Skip three minutes".

It'll instantly skip ahead and will hopefully land roughly where you want it.

Remember, to be able to skip ads on Sky Glass or Sky Stream you'll have to be subscribed to the add-on service.

It costs £5 per month.
