Also just noticed you can be recording two programs, and watching a third
pre-recorded program (but not a third channel).

Downloading starts Thursday and it will be here by Christmas? That's
one hell of a download.

Hi,

Just wondering if the new update shows the correct free percentage with
those who have upgraded their HDD?

Cheers

With only two days to go, I would keep quiet about this rumour of dual
recording software on Thursday. Then I would be wise and sarcastic after
Thursday morning, Paul and Sima. This way I wouldn't have to apologise for
my possible incorrect smugness,
Joe


I had a download of new software at 7.50 this morning on my Sky+. I know it
happened because I was listening to BBC1 news; and I suddenly realised that
the sound and picture had disappeared and been replaced by a blank screen, and
the green light had turned red. After a minute I was able to turn the Sky+
light green; and later on the Sky+ Planner I was able to change a
"reminder" set for next Monday (University Challenge, 20,30) to "record". I
had recording set to Sky One (Stargate) for 20.00 to 21.00 slot, and I have
now set the 20.00 to 20.30 slot to G2 (Red Dwarf) recording as a test. The
legends at the bottom of the Planner screen have changed to indicate the new
situation. On the Tuesday night my old Amstrad Sky box in the bedroom had
locked to red as if an upgrade signal had been received but there didn't;
seem to be any change in the reference details on that box.

From what I've just read on a mailing list apparently not, alas.

Mine was down loaded overnight and has accepted a recording on two
channels at the same time, without the usual warning of a clash coming
up.
