Can Sky+ do this? by
HarryPatt
If I am recording one Sky prog while watching another can I flick between them?
Also can I be recording one program and just flick between it and all the other
Sky channels?
I love the remote thing, I would miss not watching 50 channels at the same

Thanks

Sky+ Quick question by
HarryPatt
If I set Sky+ to record say an extra 20 miutes at the end of a program can I
later 'chop off' any extra recording time in order to save disk space?
If I want to save 15 minutes out of a recorded program (on the Sky+ HD) can I
do this?
