1) Is there any online info to say what channels/programmes currently
support series link, or shall I just rely on whether that icon appears
when
I select a programme?

Programmes? No. Channels? See the links in the FAQ.

Yes.


2) Why doesn't A-Z of programmes (it's A-Z of Movies that I'm actually
after) work over seven days? It would be useful to spend 10 mins or so
setting up recordings of all the films that week I want to see, then watch
them at the weekend or whenever. As it is, it only seems to be 24 hours
ahead.

Too much data.

Time to enter Sky+ Newbie Mode (TM) so please feel free to lambast me if
required:

Not that I'm aware of. When you put it in the planner, the series
link button will appear if the link is available. Maybe someone else
knows differently.

The A-Z always only works over 24 hours. It's tedious enough as it is
- you really don't want it to be 7 times longer. If it's just the
films you want to look at, just use browse the films section in the TV
guide.

Hope that helps.

Is the A-Z listing of programmes the same one you get on a standard
Sky box? If so, it must be an absolute nightmare on a Sky+ trying to
browse through looking for things to record, as I believe the list
includes every single channel on the EPG, including all those to which
you do not subscribe.

The Sky A-Z doesn't include the FTV channels, does it? I admit that
since I got my Tivo I rarely look at the Sky EPG and have never used
the A-Z listing.

Well, if they could make the lookup a little more intelligent, that would help. Say if
you could enter three or four initial letters.

Tivo...........

Funny,

TIVO seems to be able to handle ~20-30 days of data.

Tivo's data is stored locally on the hard drive. Sky's data is
broadcast permanently and cached in RAM.
