You, of course, missed off the post I was replying to....

Coming from someone who posts as if he is employed by the Sky Marketing team, that's quite amusing.

Please show me a post where I have attacked or vilified Sky in the way you two do to VM.....

Are the available dates on anytime content accurate? I've got a few things that say they're only available until this Saturday.

It's because Anytime content is refreshed all the time , can you give some examples I'll check on mine. Little tip highlight the show you want in Anytime press R record button and it will be copied to your personal planner

Did you figure out what I meant Doz007 ?

Doz007 · 22-02-2012, 22:21

Yeah, Luck was one of the shows available until Saturday. I did have it set to record tonight on Sky Atlantic but we've just finished watching it from Anytime instead.

If all the content runs out so quickly and gets removed from my box, what's the point of having 500gb available for anytime? Britains Bravest cops is only available until tomorrow for example..... I only got Sky installed Sunday!! Doesn't really give much time to watch things.

Now I've deleted tonights planned recording of Luck from my planner using the Yellow button. Has that deleted my series link or just that episode?

If you see something on Anytime that you like but don't have time to watch before it "expires", just press the record button when you have the programme selected and it will be moved to your normal recordings library and then it can be watched at your leisure the same as anything you recorded normally.

The series link , just find next weeks and series link from there , go to Britains bravest cop on anytime make sure it's highlighted press the record button and hey presto the show is then on your personal planner and won't expire until you delete it. It seems Stereohaven has beat me to it

Cheers mate, I understand what you guys mean but my point is that I may as well have 1.25tb personal space if I'm not getting twice as much anytime content over the standard Sky+HD box....

What's the point in having 500gb there if all the shows get deleted after a couple of days?! I could understand them being deleted once that space has been filled in order to make room for new content but every few days is a bit poor and will never come close to fully utilising the full 500gb.

Thanks MM, how do you go about just cancelling a program then? Pressing the record button as prompted didn't remove it from my planner..

I believe once the content goes to last chance it stays there longer on the 1TB box. http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showp...7&postcount=12
Is 240 hrs HD not enough for you it's twice the equivalent TIVO box

Because Anytime is a showcase of content which is refreshed daily.

If you'd pressed record part way through it would have stopped the recording , but you would have still had the part it had recorded in the planner which yellow button would have got rid of. Sky works differently if you set a series link for say a show tonight at 11pm your planner will only list that show , once it starts recording the next episode should be listed for the following week. This may be handy but remember it was done when this EPG was first introduced.

So pressing record before the recording is due to start does cancel the recording but also causes the show to stay in the planner?
