Merged:-Comcast makes Bid for Sky - Page 26

When my installation is all done and dusted tomorrow. How do I choose which box i'd like to remote record to or is there a toggle on the Sky+ apps allowing me to choose 1TB box or Sky+HD box? That way if both tuners are in use on my main box I could still record as planned on one of the others.

Thanks again MM, looks like what I was after although it's a slightly long way to do it.

Thanks for the heads up on Homeland as well by the way, I've already got my eye on Tuesdays showing of Luck but Homeland is one that would have slipped the net.

Post on the Sky help forum and tell them , I agree a toggle option would be much more user friendly. They encourage feedback on the Sky help forum so your suggestion could well be included in a future update. We desperately need some new posters on here it's always me , you or LexDiamond

come on folks we don't bite.

All installed and working a treat! The engineer was very polite, tidy, professional and the whole installation took around 3 hours.

I'm loving the speed of the 1tb box, it makes my TiVo box look very sluggish I've not had chance to test the speed of the other boxes yet though. Having all the iPhone & iPad apps up and running is a bonus, Sky really do make super slick apps. Now all I need to do is wait for the Anytime content to populate and for Anytime+ to be opened up to my 50mb connection.

Thanks Den, I thought the same when I got TiVo installed. It was much faster than the V+ box that it replaced but this 1TB Sky+HD box is like the same improvement again. It really is blazing fast going through the guide etc.

Cheers MM, it certainly looks like being another great year for Sky! I'm really looking forward to the EPG revamp, F1HD & Sky Atlantic as well as the Zeebox implementation

There is no doubting the fact a Sky box is considerably faster than a TiVo box.

The zeebox intergration is going to be brilliant,.

Well l am not getting into a Sky v Virgin debate again but like everything it is in the eye of the beholder and if you say it is faster then who am l to dispute that.

Den the TIVO is a good box no doubt , that why Sky feel the need to upgrade their EPG and feature list.

Yes l think both boxes by the end of the year will have had quite a few things added to them and that can be no bad thing MM in my mind..

Just had my first Never Miss success! Series 2 of Sherlock is being repeated starting this coming Saturday at 9pm on BBC HD. Great for anyone like me who missed it the first time around.

It sounds like you're really enjoying your Sky lol, An don't forget your 1Tb Sky box actually has a 1.5Tb drive in it. Thats 1Tb just for you and 500Gb for Anytime downloads.

Unlike the VM 1tb TiVo which only has 1Tb drive so it can be filled by TiVo without you recording anything an as VM use an older compression you'll be able to record twice as much on your Sky box.
