Today marks a wonderful milestone for Sky customers, as we celebrate the launch of a fantastic update to the pioneering Sky+ app. This exciting enhancement transforms your iPad into a powerful remote control, giving you even more freedom and convenience over your television viewing experience. It is a brilliant step forward in making your entertainment more interactive and enjoyable.
With just a simple swipe or tap of your fingers on the iPad screen, you can now effortlessly change channels, pause live TV, play your favourite programmes, and rewind to catch every moment. The update also allows you to view what is stored on your Sky+ planner and make changes without ever interrupting your current viewing. This seamless integration ensures that your entertainment flow remains uninterrupted and perfectly tailored to your needs.
The new design makes setting recordings for your favourite shows over the following seven days easier than ever before. You can now scroll through the whole week in the TV Guide and select exactly which shows you wish to record. Whether you prefer to record a single episode or an entire series, the process is intuitive and user-friendly, ensuring you never miss a moment of the content you love.
This is just the beginning of a series of wonderful enhancements to the overall Sky+ experience. Later this summer, customers will be delighted to see the integration of zeebox second screen functionality directly into the app. This will allow you to follow online reactions to your favourite shows via integrated Twitter feeds and enjoy bonus content specifically created around your favourite Sky programmes.
To access this full range of fantastic features, simply ensure your Sky+HD box has the new look Sky TV Guide and is connected to the same broadband network as your iPad. If you need any assistance setting up your connection or have questions about the new features, our friendly team is here to help.
For support and guidance on getting the most out of your Sky+ experience, please call us on 0844 448 1671. Our lines are open to assist you, with calls costing 7p per minute plus your phone company's access charge.
