Its hard to chose between multiroom streaming, the planner access via Sky+ app or downloading recorded shows from planner to Ipad.

I guess downloading shows would make the biggest difference to me.

I agree with multiroom planner sharing however being the owner of an iPad I'm also looking forward to the iPad companion app bringing some more features such as the ability to use as a remote control , access your planner without disturbing what's on TV , plus I'm sure there'll be many other advanced features it's capable of ;)

LOL :) you little tinker :D

I've got to be honest though and say I've never missed it , shows are repeated that many times , plus having multiroom helps. For obvious reasons more tuners will always be preferable however for me content is king.

I must admit when i left VM last year and went to sky (not through choice) i hated the Sky STB and complained bitterly about the lack of comparible tuners to VM's STB's ,BUT over the year with the addition of on demand content it hasn't been that much of a problem

If it ever did arrive existing sky users would have to fork out a couple of hundred quid to buy it

Indeed it will and that's why i don't think Sky will ever upgrade the box with more tuners,they simply won't be needed

Re: Which rumoured future feature are you looking forward to most ?

I voted for a shared planner as Iplayer I already have access to on a few devices, same for ITV-Player.

Lets not let certain user's drag this thread of topic, I say with lots of hope lol.

EDIT****

I didn't realise I could vote for my than 1, So downloading Anytime+ content to 2nd screen devices is also high on my list of wants as is the iPad companion.

Re: Which rumoured future feature are you looking forward to most ?

There is a rumour that Sky may now allow the option to disable AT meaning that the 1.5TB version of the 1TB STB would become 1.5TB in the planner, the 2TB version would allow the full 1TB reserved for AT to the planner and the standard PVR would become 0.5TB.
in the planner.
Sorry can't find the post that mentioned it but was browsing AVF earlier today and saw this on there.

Would be great if this happened. I never go to showcase anymore.

Seen that myself , really hope that happens it would mean my 60hr HD Sky+HD boxes would become 120 hrs HD as the 500gb is currently split half for personal planner , half for Anytime.
