Recording while watching another recording
 

If I am watching a recording and I have another programme due to start recording, will it still record without stopping my current playback? Got a Sky+HD box.

Yes you can record two and watch a recording off the HDD.

Also.....if something starts recording, can I still go and watch something that has been recorded while its playing? Guess its similar to the first question.

Would have tested it myself but the situation has just come up and I dont have the time before the programme starts lol

Lets say you record Hunted on BBC One at 9pm , you could go into your planner at say 9.05pm and start watching it from the start whilst the rest continues to record , hope that makes sense.

Yeah it does. That was actually the first thing I found out about the recording and by accident :)

Its a shame no short manual comes with the box, would have been handy. The recording stuff is pretty sorted now but it was only by luck I stumbled across the remote key-combo to switch inputs on my tv.

I got a short manual. It was a leaflet giving the basics about the remote mind you :D

You can download the manuals from Sky site somewhere

You got more than me lol. I'll have a look on their site. Just want to make sure im not missing out on any feature or if I can do anything a better way.

Just google the model of the box and it will be there somewhere

Get the sky+ app for your ipad.
1. You can re-order your favourites.
2. It has an awesome clash manager
3. And much,much more.....

Just try it and you will see. :)

Think the new 2TB/1.5TB model has the same manual as the 1TB one, so will have a read through that. In case anyone else needs to get it: http://storage.sky.com/prod/helpcent...sHD1TBR2v2.pdf

Did grab the Sky+ app for android and saw the remote record stuff but good to know its easier to arrange favourites in it. Only thing thing I havn't seen that I expected was an android app to change the channels like a remote.

You can use Zeebox for that

Keep hearing Zeebox mentioned lately, will have a look now :)

Zeebox is brilliant :tu:

Only thing I don't like is I can't seem to block specific contacts. One person I don't want to share when im home watching tv appeared on the live zeetag thing, so guess they could see me too. They are in my phonebook so im guessing that where the connection has come from.
