Sky+ Remote Record

Mr Moon

Hi all, Hope someone can help me,

Sky are going on about this new service 'remote record' i've registered on sky.com and i've registered on sky active but anytime i try to access the service to search the tv listings on my phone I can't connect to sky?

Has anyone got this service to work on their phone? (I'm a meteor customer)

Thanks

I've had trouble connecting too. Get a message saying "The data connection has failed, please check the network coverage".

Vodafone customer.

I'm looking forward to the remote record via the web

I get that too. I also got an error when trying to register thru Sky active.

There seems to be lot of bugs regarding this. I tried downloading the application for my phone, keep getting "Intsall Error" on my Nokia 6680 on Voda.

Plus, last week, when registering through Sky active they had a problem with their system which they've sorted now. I have to set records by text for now, but it's a f**king fast system.

Got the registration to work via Sky Active and texting works fine. Sky By Mobile app still not working on Sony Ericsson k750i. Roll on sky.com route.

I registered through the digibox and after like the 5th time it worked i gave it my number but i was expecting a txt or something to say it worked

how am i supposed to access the tv guide through my phone

and by the way im with 3 not vodafone (might that have something to do with it?)

You also register online with Sky and download their Sky By Mobile application. I cant get it to work either. SE k750 with o2. Texts work though and sky.com route should be up and running soon.

I finally got it to work on a Nokia 6230i this morning. I am with O2. I had to create a new GPRS access point using the setting

open.internet
username gprs and
password gprs

You then need to set this access point as the default and assign it to all apps.

Works well and easier than the texting obviously as you have the EPG visable.

I also finally got it working on my Sony Ericsson V600i. Here's how.

Set up a new Data Account calling it whatever you want (eg. sky)
Use APN: isp.vodafone.ie
Username: vodafone
Password: vodafone
Authentication: PAP

Then go into settings fo Java and change the profile to vodafone. Restart your mobile and use the sky by mobile application with the username and password you created on your sky+ box.

The remote record goes through immediately.

Anyone got any ideas how to get it working on meteor??

I got the details from Sky by calling
+44 (0)870 609 2839

Mr Moon

I rang that sky number yesterday and they let me know that it was absolutely impossible that I could have registered through the sky box because they took it offline and it wont be going live again till next week!

But how come my registration was successful??? (after a few tries)

I contacted Sky by Mobile today and spoke to a lady who informed me that the connection works on some 6230s but not on others. She didn't know why but thought it might be that some 6230s had different software. It all sounded a bit vague to me.

I have looked at your earlier posting, dosfromclaire, but do not follow your instructions for a new access point. Where exactly on the 6230i did you make these settings?

open.internet
username gprs and
password gprs

I am still having trouble accessing this via my mobile (on vodafone). It seems to connect, prompts for username and password but after a minute or two displays "Data Server not available".

Any ideas?

Mr Moon

Yeah, I'm getting the same!

Anyone with any ideas?
