Update – New release for 1TB & DRX890

Quote:

Hi All,
*
We are updating the software on most existing customer Sky+HD boxes over the coming months in order to roll out the latest feature improvements and user experience to the Sky Guide. This software has been developed to be easier and simpler to use than ever before, using the very latest design and user navigation.*
*
We are always grateful for constructive feedback from our forum users; in many cases this significantly aids our efforts to resolve problems. We are in the final stage of trial and would like to make this new software available to forum customers who have a 1TB*/ DRX890 set top box in advance of mass rollout. Whilst the new look will be fixed for the foreseeable future, we will be very interested in your comments on the design together with any reliability issues experienced,*
*
The initial rollout will be slow while we monitor results closely, and the full rollout to all 1TB*and DRX890 boxes is expected to take a few months due to the large population. There will also be some fixes incorporated, plus other stability improvements, so you could be amongst the very first to receive these.
*
If you wish to take up this option, we will need you to send a*private message*to Sky+Forum+Team with the title New**Release and include your e-mail address, 9 digit card Number & the 6 digit version number from the System Details screen by noon on Wednesday 04/04/12. We will then perform an over the air download to these boxes, probably on or around Wednesday 11th April.

24 BBC Olympic channels on Sky

Quote:

BSkyB is to show ‘every second of the BBC’s 2012 Olympics coverage’ with the help of 24 brand new channels, dedicated to the London Games. More than 10 million Sky homes will be able to watch the 2012 London Olympics through two dozen brand new BBC channels which will be dedicated to the BBC’s live coverage of the games.
The innovative agreement will mean that Sky homes will have access to comprehensive coverage of this summer’s Olympics, with up to 24 live dedicated HD and SD channels running simultaneously at peak times during the games. The 48 brand new channels, which are being created specifically for the Olympics, will launch into Sky’s Electronic Programme Guide and will show every sport from cycling to archery, swimming to wrestling, tennis to the 100 metre final. Alongside coverage on the existing BBC channels, Sky homes will be able to enjoy 2,500 hours’ worth of live BBC coverage throughout the Games.
What’s more, because Sky homes will be able to view the channels via the Sky EPG, Sky+ homes will be able to record the coverage to watch at a time that suits them so that they can record every one of their favourite events and not miss any of the action.

Sky News Arabia to launch on May 6

Quote:

Sky has confirmed that Sky News Arabia, the broadcaster's new Arabic-language channel to take on al Jazeera, will officially launch next month.

In November 2010, Sky agreed a deal with a private investment firm to launch a new channel offering "independent, impartial and innovative" news coverage across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).

Ive not read up on the app but generally I'd always prefer a channel , usually better PQ and the ability to record is indeed a plus.

Yeah, I'd much prefer to have the channels and be able to record things to watch back at a more convenient time.

Colin Remember these wise words A Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.:D
