So thinking outside the box here. A common complaint from SKY customers is not enough tuners. SKY recently confirmed they plan to roll out 20 more catch up channels to their current list of about 18 channels.
Maybe SKY are launching a new facility where programs from these channels, that will be added to catch up TV shortly after they are broadcast, will have a golden R displayed next to them. You can set them to "record" but they won't actually record from the live broadcast. They'll download to your SKY+ box as soon as they hit catch up TV. This means there should be less chance of your tuners being occupied by multiple recordings.
It would be a good work around by SKY to compete with TiVo's 3 tuners.

Maybe it is free BT sport for all sky sports customers  , and what you said.
oops..i am now sounding like a virgin user

One mans disappointment is another mans joy. Not what i was looking for from SKY personally.
Not to worry, I've submitted my idea to SKY. Maybe I'll get commission if it's implemented
http://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Prod...t/td-p/1253178
If you are a SKY customer I'd appreciate your support. Okay I admit it's unlikely it'll ever be implemented however it's worth a try.
I've also submitted it to SKY's project team too.

SKY "push" content to your SKY+ box most nights. A selection of shows and movies they think you'll enjoy from your subscription package automatically downloaded to your box. What I'd like to do is be able to tell my SKY+ box not to push random stuff to my box but instead push this, that and the next think when they become available.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
Is it definite that the Sky Sports for iPad update was the mystery thing?
I fail to see why out of all the logos they could have teased that with, that they'd use what they did.

Do they have to push it because most Sky boxes don't have a fast enough internet connection to just stream what the user wants?

No because push On Demand was launched before the boxes were updated with the ability to download via an Internet connection , its still kept in action for those with older Sky+ boxes and those users who haven't connected their STB to the Internet.

It will be something and nothing I bet , it's all about engaging on the social networks isn't it.
