Best update so far for the Sky+ app , I'm loving the ability to browse On Demand including catchup (BBC currently not included) , I also love how search now includes On Demand also.

This is an excellent update, I like how it breaks things down into sections like 'last chance' etc. The ability to download on demand content directly to your Sky box from the app is also a huge positive!

Re: General Sky TV Discussion

I'm sure it will. I've taken a few screenshots below so you can get a sneak peak of what's to come!









If you'd like a picture of anything more specific, let me know.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion

How many extra minutes can I add to the end of a recording on SKY+ ? Sometimes boxing on Boxnation can over-run by 30 minutes or more. Recording the next show is not an option as more often than not the next thing to show on the EPG is that the channel is now closed until 10am, which you can't record.

Max is 10 mins. As Sky have a Dynamic EPG then it should automatically record if runs over but im sure MM will correct me if im wrong

Re: General Sky TV Discussion

Oh and another question. How much downloaded Anytime+ content can my 1tb box hold?

Also how long does a 1 hour SD programme and a 1 hour HD programme take to download on a 10mb connection? How much of the show % wise has to be downloaded before I can start watching.

Cheers

Sadly Boxnation isn't covered by SKY's dynamic EPG. Apparently, according to posts on their fAcebook and Twitter pages, it costs money to have your channel covered by the dynamic EPG. Money that Boxnation are not prepared to pay.

A HD movie on a 10mb connection will become available in under 15 seconds , your line should do more than 10mb.

1TB

Re Boxnation you can also quite easily manually record a show
