AFAIK they don't announce boxsets in advance of adding them so there is no way to know.

My personal feeling is that they won't be adding this for some time yet as they just repeated the whole of S1 on Atlantic in the lead up to S2 arriving.

I'm not sure if the series link will record previous episodes.

You could try adding it to your never miss list and Sky will let you know when its on again.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion

Broadcast: More4+2 to preceed 4seven launch.

Channel 4 is to launch a new time-shifted version of More4 ahead of the launch of repeats station 4seven.

More4+2 will broadcast from 16 April on the Sky platform. It will be on air for a short segment of the day, likely to be in the evening. The EPG slot has yet to be confirmed.

4seven is expected to launch in June.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion

I do indeed MM, all present and correct and looking really impressive!

I'm downloading the first series of Boardwalk Empire as I type this and I'm surprised how big the files are. Episode 2 was 5.41GB of HD goodness, I'm expecting great PQ with that kind of file size for a 51 min show!

Is it working on both your Sky+HD boxes ? I had to make a few phone calls to get it up and running on my second box , hopefully they've made it less complicated now.

I'm not sure yet, I need to get some home-plugs or the Sky WiFi adapter to connect the bedroom box to the internet. I have to admit though that I thought it was activated by account rather than per box. Was your 2nd box an older Thompson one?

No both new Amstrad DRX 890 Sky+HD but my first was activated about a year ago.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion

Ahhh, ok. That blows a hole in my theory then

I notice that downloading things from anytime+ causes the record light on the box to turn on. Does this mean that we're unable to record a further 2 channels when downloading?

I think it looks at the planner first and only downloads in free slots. Not really noticed it though but I have missed a recording.

I'm 90% sure I've had a download with two tuners both recording. I'll try it after.
