Who designed and signed off the vertical scroll keyboard on the sky q box?? Fair enough if you’re just searching for a tv show, but to enter a WiFi password it makes me want to throw things.

It’s a vertical list of lower case letters, followed by upper case, followed by numbers, followed by symbols. If you want to type a password that contains, for example “aUpW” you have to scroll up and down this fucking list.

I feel your pain but you can use the remote as well. It’s still fiddly though.

Send it back, cancel the contract, and never put any money into the murdoch empire again. Sorted.

Surely you just use the remote number keys to type like an old school text message?
