The 2TB Sky+HB Box sounds good. I want one. No date on when this will be realsed thou

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

I doubt that it will be, though.

At the moment it is only the iPad app that has the planner features, the iPhone one just has the guide plus remote record.

As it would seem that Sky is currently concentrating on tablets, then it makes some sense that it has not brought the features to Android yet.

Android may rule the smartphone market, but the iPad is still king when it comes to tablets. It sells more than all other tablets combined, and its share is actually increasing.

Fragmentation is also a far bigger problem with Android than iOS, due to a wide variety of hardware specs to cater for and a wide variety of OS versions to cater for. What specs should the app work be tested on? What OS version? Go for the old yet still popular Gingerbread (57.5%)? Honeycomb, the first Android tablet OS (2.1%)? Ice Cream Sandwich, the first version to bring together phone and tablet (20.9%)? Or Jelly Bean, the latest version (1.2%)? (Android version distribution: http://developer.android.com/about/d...rds/index.html ).

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Sky currently has 63 HD channels , it also has 2 SBO HD channels , Film 4 HD and More4 HD already announced with someone on DS saying they've seen E! HD testing.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Overnights.tv is now saying that Sky1 +1 will launch on November 12th.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

haven't noticed before but the sky channel listings have changed ,all the sky HD channels have been promoted and the sd ones relegated so now i will have to try to remember where they are again ,

and when did we get sky 2?

Re: General Sky TV Discussion

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

seriously ,i knew it used to be there but thought it had been taken off a good few years back :dunce:

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Haven't been around these parts for a while so I'm feeling a little out of the loop! :(

The 2TB box has just been launched, what is the price for existing customers?

Do we know anymore about the shared planner functionality - release dates, UI screenshots or videos of it in action?

I know the iPad app has been updated - does this include planner management & Zeebox integration?

Sorry for all the questions but I've got a lot of news to catch up on! :D

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

The 2TB box is actually a 1.5TB (personal space) 500gb On Demand it allows 350hrs HD recording time , I believe the price to existing customers is £149 however many have reported on the forums getting deals.

The new iPad app includes planner management including clash management plus Zeebox integration and will be available very soon on the iPhone ;)

Shared planner , no news yet however many on the forums have said its due to start testing later on this year.

I take it you have catchup on your box now ?

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Thanks MM, I've missed your Sky knowledge! :D

What kind of deals are we talking about for the new box? I'd like to get one for when the shared planner arrives so I can still access all the content from my current 1TB & 500GB boxes. This would also give me a tasty 3TB of recording space! :)

Having access to the planner whilst out about about on the iPhone would be ideal, how does the clash management UI work? Do you have any links to videos or pictures?

Yeah, I've had catch up TV and undelete on my box for some time now, a very welcome addition.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

I know it's been said before, but it'd be nice for us Android users to get some attention.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

It will happen , iPhone is due soon according to a note in the iTunes Store and then I believe Android will be looked into.
