			Not TV related but SKY are to launch SKY Talk Shield for free to every SKY phone customer. 
https://corporate.sky.com/media-cent...launch-in-june
Sky Talk Shield, a new call screening service that’s free for Sky Talk customers, is set to crackdown on unwanted and nuisance phone calls by stopping cold callers in their tracks.
 
One in five households receive a nuisance call every day, with those aged over 55 receiving the highest number of unnecessary calls*. Sky Talk Shield gives users ultimate control over their landline, letting them choose to answer the calls they want and block the ones they don’t before they are even connected.

 I'm looking forward to using it.... if it is as good as it sounds. Fed up with calls about PPI and accident claims etc.

			New Sky Q software received today Q004.002.40.03L 
 
Allows 6 Simultaneous recordings whilst watching a 7th channel. 
 
By default it's set to 5 whilst watching a 6th , to change you have to go into SETTINGS - SETUP - PREFERENCES then change Maximum number of recordings to 6. (Changing to 6 will disable video in the mini guide and split screen features)

			Could someone please tell me if the Sky Q boxes have a scart socket on them? Getting Sky Q in next week and the current TV I have only works with scarf ( HDMI sockets won't work for some reason). I'm getting a new TV but it won't be until after the boxes have been installed.

 No scart, I'm afraid. Converters are available from Amazon and the likes though.
