Satman,

Is this about the Dual Record feature?

Satman

Yes, I'd imagine so . Dual recording , while viewing a different channel was promised a while back . Will revert when more news is available .

Hate to burst the bubble mate:

But your a little slow of the mark.

03/12/03 Dual recording and new extra features for Sky+ users now live
Sky+ viewers are currently receiving their long awaited software update that will enable them to record two channels at once, save Live Paused programmes to their Planner and save entire programmes to disk, even if they press Record halfway through. From now on, you will be able to record up to two channels at once whilst either watching one of the recording feeds, or watching something from the Planner that has been previously recorded. Another feature of this software is that you can now save material that is "Live Paused". Whilst using the Live Pause facilty, press select and the Search and Scan banner will come up with the message "Press R to save". Pressing the Record button will dump the paused program in the Sky+ Planner. Also, if you are watching a programme, and get part way through and decide to record the programme, pressing "R" will save the entire programme to the planner, back from when you switched to that channel. The latest software version, sky+1.26.v2 also should fix some stability issues which have been affecting certain viewers. The software rollout should be complete by the end of the afternoon.

Surely that would require a third cable feed from the LNB to the box though?

carrolls

Yes, three live feeds require three lnb connections. There is only two with a Sky+ box.
I think what they mean is you can watch previously recorded material while taping two live feeds simultaneously.

Usual sky procedure is to wait until something is common knowledge and then do press release
