Sky+ app do you use it ?
 
With some of the new features available on Android and the full suite on iOS do you use the Sky+ app ?

I find I now schedule the majority of my recordings/series links and generally organise my planner via the ipad app , it's also handy for viewing the On Demand catalogue without disturbing your viewing and starting it downloading to the STB.

What future features would you like to see ? Personally I'd like an 'Away' mode like the VM TV Anywhere app currently has allowing you to edit your planner on the move , the ultimate would be the ability to view recordings off your Sky+HD box in the app.

Yup, I use it on my iPad and iPhone. Excellent app, very handy to be able to manage the Planner without using the box & remote.

I agree with your dream features.

I use it on my iPhone/iPad daily, I even use it as my remote control aswell to change channel, delete recordings, browse ondemand and set downloads/recordings.

I don't know how we lived with out such things , how did we ever think it was acceptable to interrupt our viewing and reduce the main screen to less than 1 quarter of screen size just to check the planner is beyond me. I love second screen tech.

I use it on my phone alot to set recordings and delete stuff from my planner. I use the iPad app to look at On Demand content as well

I use it as a TV guide, it's quicker and smoother than the Virginmedia app

They should bring out a Never Miss app integrated into the Sky+ app in someway.

That's a brilliant idea , its been said many times on numerous forums. I regularly use the Sky Never Miss service however I'd love to get notifications via an app allowing me too directly set a series link through my tablet/smartphone rather than via email.

I used to do the same when I was a VM customer. :)

Now I use the app all the time to set up recordings and browse the TV guide and On Demand. I really like the highlights section of the app as well, I've discovered several good programmes because of it!

I use it all the time.

It's the best thing since sliced bread. :)

I dunno how I lived without it. :)

Agree about nevermiss.

Just set something to record on the iPad app and it told me that the items will clash and automatically gave an alternative airing for one of the items. Thats much better than me trying to work it out and find another airing

Probably but personally I don't ever use the STB's interface since I started using the sky+ app so I am not really bothered.

I'm pretty much the same , it allows you to schedule recordings , edit your planner without disturbing your viewing and the highlights section looks brilliant on the iPads retina display.
