If you have Sky Go on 2 other devies and you use the Sky Sports and Sky Sports F1 companion app do you have to remove another device so it will work even if you dont want to watch Sky Go on the iPad?

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
I have On demand working on main box, I have got homeplugs set up on second box, shows that network is connected, but I have no on demand content. Do I need to contact Sky to activate it on other box?

Yes ring them up and they'll switch it on.
Go into Settings - Details and write down your viewing card number so as they know which account needs activating.

What do you make of the On Demand offering coming from VM ?
Now you have both boxes networked , the Sky+ ipad app should allow you to control them both. You should also be able to see both boxes listed by going into settings then Sky+HD box connectivity , this will allow you to change boxes and schedule recording across them both.

I really like the on demand, like how you can put programmes in your planner to watch when you are ready. Like having the boxsets of series to catch up on. Find it alot easier to navigate than virgin.
The iPad app is awsome. As was mentioned in an earlier post it suggests other showings if there is a recording clash. I sure in future updates it will just move the recording for you.
Spent a big chunk of my day watching movies in better HD quality than Virgin, and finding my way around the apps.

My parents have TIVO and I must admit I find Sky+HD On Demand far easier to navigate , plus the Sky content is all in HD unlike on Virgin.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
Once shared recordings are activated , that will be another great feature to make use of.

It seems to me kind sir that you need a TiVo for your recording demands.
