---------- Post added at 16:33 ---------- Previous post was at 15:42 ----------

Ive read about Instant Rewind and i have read that ive i leave it turned on it makes the box easier to break down because its constantky recording in its buffer, is this true? Also any way of skipping parts instead of fast fawarding or rewinding like Tivo?

Sorry never used Sky games , I'm sure you can't skip forward like TIVO , try googling Using Sky+HD and you'll get the PDF manual.

According to this poster EPG upgrade could be soon but if it's like the last time it was changed it will be rolled out gradually

Just to report back, I performed the software update that you suggested and now the series links are being recieved properly.

I notice that the poster on DS has replied to your question. Sound very interesting, I'm looking forward to seeing the first pictures or videos of it in action.

Indeed , seems its more cosmetic with some intuitive enhancements , wonder when the new Sky+ Zeebox app will launch I'm thinking before June. Glad you seemed to have sorted your issues did you get Sky premiere movies on all your boxes this week.

Sorry, missed this earlier. No, they're still not appearing as of today but I only performed that software update at lunchtime so hopefully they'll be a movie or 2 downloaded over the next couple of nights!

If not then I'm guessing they'll appear correctly in the Showcase section of Anytime+ once that goes live for me this week.

They should be there anyway both my boxes have them , your not using both tuners around midnight are you as anytime content requires one.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion

No, I record the odd channel at midnight now and again in order to avoid clashes but I've never used both tuners at that time. All the other Anytime content comes down ok, it's just the movies. If this software update doesn't work then I don't know what would - I've already done 2 planner rebuilds over the space of 16 days....

Re: General Sky TV Discussion

Yeah I know, really strange. Especially when I get them on my bedroom box without a hitch. I'm not too bothered at the minute to be honest with you, I'm recording all the movies i'll watch myself anyway. If it doesn't correct itself come the Anytime+ rollout, I'll give them a bell. I have been in touch with the Sky help team on twitter and they also suggested the planner rebuild and software update.
