Just for info;
 
Once you've launched the App and connected your Sky+HD boxes to your network simply hit the "scan for box's" button. It will then list your boxes and you can access all recorded shows, delete viewed shows or set new recordings.
 
In my opinion its fantastic, no need to interrupt your viewing, and is all very fast and slick.

 This is true, for Sky customers to record all the great content they want we would need a 50Tb HDD in a HD box with 30 tuners lol. As Virgin have less channels and less HD a 3 tuner box is fine for their customers.

 At least content, it is only after I watch it do I decide if it is great   
Unless you meant great deal of content, which is true either way

			What - you think my pointing out your main purpose for posting on this forum seems to be as a proxy for the Sky Sales & Marketing department is harassment/bullying? (your signature seems to re-inforce this...). 
 
I am sorry you feel that way.
