Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 
Just done series links for the soaps and it only does the one time. E.g. Set Corro as series link and it doesnt show its going to record the 2 eps on Thursday just the 1st one. Checked EPG and same thing. Do i need to set up series for every day and time?

Whilst we don't record soaps in particular, the Sky boxes work differently to TiVo in that they only show the next episode that will be recorded. I'm sure that the series link will pick up all the episodes though. :)

Have you recently left TiVo for Sky also?

Oh ok. Ill see how it goes. Ya left my Tivo and V+ to come to Sky. Ive also found the TV sound is quieter so my volume on TV has to be higher to get same sound level, i can cope with that thou

Watched the F1 today and the HD PQ was excellent , I also used the F1 companion iPad app which is brilliant , nice to see two Brits on the podium also.

quality was great and so was the DD sound. Was a great race. Bring on next weekend on Sky Sports F1 HD. Hopefully another Team GB win :)

I'm sure my Sky box was reporting DD on the F1 SD channel also , is DD available on VM.

Well l watched it on good old SD and the picture quality was still excellent but yes it would be nice to get it on HD sometime in the future.

I didn't notice any difference in sound levels, it was the speed and responsiveness of the menus that stood out to me initially. Well that and all the extra HD channels! :D

Yeah, I've got to agree MM the PQ is stunning and Sky are really leading the way when it comes to mobile apps!

To top it all off, I've just checked Anytime and I've got a movie!! :shocked:

Granted, it's only the Poltergeist 2 on MGM HD but it's a start. :p:

Just used the 'Remind me' option during the Game of Thrones advert. I didn't realise that it takes you straight to a special screen giving you the option to record, series link etc. Very slick and impressive.

Hopefully they'll expand on features like these with the new EPG.
