Sky might rule the roost when it comes to watching telly but the Amazon’s Fire TV Stick is fighting back. These popular devices bring plenty of smart features to your television for a very low price and there’s even an extra accessory that brings some Sky-rivalling features to your living room.
Amazon’s Pro remote includes a swathe of upgrades that were usually reserved for more premium set-top boxes such as Sky Q and Sky Glass.
Perhaps the most useful function from Amazon’s design team is an in-built alarm that belts out a loud sound should this channel changer slip behind the sofa.

Once lost, all you have to do is shout “Alexa, find my remote” and it should be pretty easy to track it down.
Next up there are some useful backlit keys which glow up when the sun goes down. Sky introduced this function when it launched Sky Glass and now Fire TV Stick can get a piece of the action as well.
Those glowing buttons make it far easier to switch channels and launch streaming apps at night.
Along with alarms and bright keys, there are plenty more bonus extras on the Pro remote including two customisable buttons which allow you to create your own shortcuts to favourite channels, apps or any of the numerous Alexa commands.
There are also one-touch Alexa voice controls and a dedicated headphone button that lets you pair your wireless headphones a lot faster.
Sound enticing? To make things more attractive, this remote has now been slashed in price for Black Friday which means you can pop one in your online shopping basket for just £24.99 – saving £10 off the standard price.
The only thing you need to make sure of is that you have a compatible Fire TV Stick – the Pro remote doesn’t work with the 1st Gen Stick.
