Unfortunately not..... I bought a MemoZap from www.pacelink.co.uk - it 
sends the backup command periodically.... the problem with that is, if 
you want to use interactive, it kicks you out every so often when it 
sends the backup. I generally don't use interactive, or when I do want 
to look at BB when its not on live, I move the IR sender from the 
MemoZap out of the way.

The MemoZap goes through a 9v battery in about a month... I connected 
mine to an el-cheapo multi way adapter.

The alternative is to have something else regularly send the backup 
command.... eg a PC based IR device, HomeVision, Pronto etc (would eat 
your Pronto batteries and make your Pronto busy every X minutes though)

Alas, the one advantage of Sky+.... sky know how annoying the red dots 
are and they are not recorded by Sky+.... !
