So move house
Being that I watch most of my content time shifted I've never really had an issue as both tuners are available for recording whilst I catch up with my shows off the HDD , I find the Sky+ app useful as it allows me to look for repeat airings of shows plus with catchup available its even less of an issue although I do have a second recordable box if needed. I see your point though more tuners is always preferable.

The Sky mobile apps can not be praised enough in my opinion. A superb suite of apps that beautifully compliment Sky's TV package.

what's this ,a sales convention
Seriously though the stb needs updating ,i certainly don't like trawling through a thousand channels to see if there is a +1 or trashing the pitifull bandwidth using OD

You don't need to use +1 on a lot of channels most air 2 or 3 times a week in HD on the pay TV channels and are series linkable. As Doz007 says the Sky+ app will find the repeat airings in a matter of seconds if you have access to it.

Do you have a really old box or something because my 1TB box is so much smoother and more responsive than my old TiVo box.... now there is a box where scrolling through the EPG can become a trawl.
My 1TB Sky box can also record twice the amount of shows as my old 1TB TiVo box also.

no idea ,and no complaints as to it's functionality ,it seems fast enough (yes a lot smoother and faster than the old V+ and it does exactly what it's meant to but it is lacking the extra tuners just to bring it up to date.Concidering i will have to pay to replace it when it knacks up i should at least have the choice to upgrade to a better stb

@muppetman ,i saw your post before you removed it and i wouldn't thank you for a tivo ,it has far too many useless gimmicks on it ,i don't want to access twitter or facebook EVER, let alone when i am watching tv and i certainly don't want tivo predicting what i want to watch ,that's just plain spooky ,i know what i want to watch and will press the appropriate buttons at the required time myself .
A sky box as is will do me just fine, just a few more tuners that's all

Personally speaking I think virgins Tivo box is bettew than sky`s boxes on the whole but where sky win and keep me as a customer is their HD channels. If virgin offered the same HD channels as sky for the same price I`d switch like a shot. Until then I`l stick with sky.

Not too arsed about the STB , Sky's offering suits me fine that said so would TIVO however I agree I'd consider VM if they were to vastly improve their HD offering but until that time I guess I'll remain with Sky.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
BBC iPlayer is now up and running in the Catch-Up TV section within On Demand (what was Anytime+).
