A-Z feature of Sky's TV Guide

Is there some trick to this feature I don't know about, or is it just really unreliable, lol. I've often come up empty in a search for programmes I know are on in the next few hours, or that are usually on daily, too.

FYI, I would of course be checking the seperate sections, (entertainment, sports, movies etc) it would be impossible to search the full A-Z option, lol.

I'm beginning to think Sky need to introduce a spell a programme option, lol, coz the first letter of the title often doesn't get me squat.

Try Digiguide from GypsyMedia on PC instead. the Sky AZ is useless

Have to agree about the Sky AZ feature. It is really useless. I never use it.

Also, try www.tvguide.co.uk which is free. Though I must admit, nothing offers as many features as Digiguide.

handy if you want to record whatever match highlights you want while watching something else

nuts, I was hoping there was simple solution.
I mainly just wanted to use it for adding things to my personal planner, rather than having to manually scroll thru all the way to the next showing of a programme.

oh wells, I guess I'll just have to live with it

So you would have a programme in your planner once and you just want to add the next showing of the same show? Sounds like a job for the Series Link (Green) button.

Sometimes the broadcaster does not "mark it" correctly anthen there is no green button option.

Of course sometimes the Planner just forgets everything.

Wow, I wasn't aware of that problem. I must have been really lucky with the shows I stick in the planner.
