 My viewing wouldn't count for any show on Atlantic ever. I don't think I've even been on channel 108 live yet most of my viewing is from that channel!

			Sky to let iPad owners watch Planner recordings

				 Sky is in the process of developing an app for the iPad that will let Sky+ users stream the saved shows and movies on their Sky box to their tablet.

For anyone not on the beta EPG trial here's a glimpse
 
Sky to update EPG in May, we go hands-on
 
	Quote: 
	
	
		
			
				 Sky is set to roll-out a new and improved electronic programme guide (EPG) to customers from the end of May and Pocket-lint has already had a walkthrough of the new interface. 
 
Shown to us behind close doors, the bad news is that we weren't able to take any photos of the new interface as Sky informed us that many of the final details of how it will look and work are still being put through their final testing stages.

 I agree it's something I've been after for a while , I wonder if it's also linked to the introduction of the shared planner feature ?

 Shared planner was the first thing that came to my mind too. But also hopefully this means that we are closer to planner access on the Sky+app.
