Re: General Sky TV Discussion
Well Sky is back in  , new EPG loaded and On Demand set up on to 1 tb box, like the way you can record programmes from BBC iPlayer into your planner.
Got DRX890 500 gb box for multi room. Will this get new EPG also?
Loving the iPad app for Sky+ , sorry it's a lot better than the Tivo one.
Sorry Virgin I tried to like your TV service but I needed to "believe in better" you may pay a bit more for Sky but it is worth it.

Your multiroom should already have it , maybe the installer didn't update the system software.
To update your multiroom box , do the following
1.Turn the box off at the wall
2. Press and hold the backup button on the top of your box and flick it on at the wall only release the backup button when you see 'Updating system software' on screen.
This should take 5-10 mins and should result in you having the new EPG. Keep us posted how you get on.

I have to say the "Clash Manager" feature is a work of genius. I just love the way it auto "suggests" alternate airings of shows, if available, to avoid the clash without you having to trawl through the listings to do it yourself.

Couldn't agree more , it was a very welcome addition. I can also tell you it's being improved

You will be able to use catchup now on your multiroom if you can get your Internet connection through to it , it's probably worth setting up via Ethernet or homeplugs so as you can benefit from features such as planner sharing when they arrive.

Welcome back to Sky, I made the same move from TiVo early this year and I've never looked back!
Check out the Sky Movies iPad app also, I find that a very user friendly way to browse Sky's immense movie catalogue.

Agreed , the Sky Sports iPad app is also worth a look with its F1 companion and Premier league companion features.
