Re: Sky+ UI

Mark,

There's no progress bar but you can press play during playback and it will
=
tell you the minute position of the recording.
As Richard mentioned the FAILED and PART REC are a PITA.  Another
'classic'=
is CLASHED.  It doesn't seem to detect clashes between multiple series lin=
ks.
A nice feature would be for the software to try the same channel later or
a=
nother channel for the same recoding ie. a +1 channel.  I've missed
recordi=
ng in the past when there's been a clash - but the show was repeated 3
time=
s later (same channel early in morning and on +1) and whilst those were
air=
ing the box sat there doing nothing.
Did you consider SkyHD?  I got it recently and it makes my telly look
lovel=
y ;o)

Regards

Simon

There was a recent deal in NI for Sky+ at =A350 for the box and =A330
installation and in a moment of weekness I caved. Had it installed
yesterday. Quick play last night and already I'm disappointed. Now, I may
be missing some stuff so please let me know if this is correct..

1. No bar along the bottom of screen during playback showing progress?

2. Can't access Guide whilst recording two programs?

3. To access recordings requires going to TV Guide, then GREEN - no quick=
er
way?

At the price it was good value, but compared to Media Centre and TiVo the=
UI
sucks big time.

M.
