Great news for television lovers across the UK! Sky+ has unveiled a wonderful suite of new features designed to make your viewing experience more enjoyable than ever. Launched on Tuesday 1 November 2016, these intuitive updates ensure that binge-watching your favourite box sets and catching up on beloved series has never been simpler or more seamless.
Introducing Auto Play, a fantastic tool that allows you to watch episode after episode without interruption. Whether you are diving into the thrilling new drama The Night Of, which has already been downloaded and streamed more than 5 million times across Sky platforms, or enjoying hits like Billions, The Blacklist, and Grey's Anatomy, the system is ready for you. Simply sit back and relax; when one episode finishes, the next will automatically start playing if it is already in your Planner. Alternatively, you can press the green button at any moment during an episode to jump straight to the next one instantly.
For those who love Catch Up TV, the new Catch Up Series Link feature is a game-changer. You can now easily set a series link on your favourite Catch Up programmes, ensuring they are automatically saved to your Planner. From family favourites like Modern Family to the gripping Ray Donovan and the hilarious A League Of Their Own, you will never miss an episode again. These updates follow other helpful additions earlier this year, such as Download Next and the Continue Watching tab, reflecting a continued commitment to putting great TV at the heart of the platform.
These updates are part of Sky's ongoing investment to make TV viewing even simpler for millions of customers. If you have any questions about setting up these new features or need assistance with your Sky+ service, our friendly team is here to help. For a warm, helpful chat about your viewing options, please call us on 0844 448 1671. Calls cost 7p per minute plus your phone company's access charge.
