    AFIK No.

    You can use a Q remote though. (they are BT).

    Thanks - I have a programmable IR remote which I use for Sky, Hi-Fi, lights, and other things, etc. I would want to keep using.
    I guess it's a no to Glass then.

    IR will not last much longer. It is pretty much like someone using US in the late 90s. Of Couruse it will take another decade.

    And with sky it's becuase they want to remove all the buttons and just have you talk to it.

    Good on the no to sky glass though! No to sky is always good.

    Well, I'll continue using IR and I may not last another decade myself!

    I can't be doing with talking to control the TV.

    As for Sky, I just think they do the best service; I've been a customer for decades.
