New series reminders

[Junipa24]

So, giving up Sky+ for SkyQ was a huge mistake. There isn't one thing that's better and I'm now tied in for 2 years!

There are a number of programmes I'm into and waiting for the new series to start. There is no way of knowing when they're coming on, is there? Is it a case of googling the shows and putting something in my diary?  Not having a reminder is a backward step especially for my dear elderly ma.

If you go onto the Geektown website and search for series you're interested in you can sign up for free emails that provide information on first airings in the UK which arrive about 7-10 days before it first airs.

Thank you.

There are several things which are better;

UHD and HDR support

Atmos support

Integrated search across streaming apps

Integrated Streaming apps (invaluable on minis imho)

Voice search

More storage

Single box, multiple playback (suits me, might not suit some)

I hear you and maybe I'll come to agree, eventually 🙂 For the moment my frustration negates those improvements, but that's just me. I would like to understand why Sky did not include this simple tool.

My opinion is that they want more control over what they get in front of your eyeballs to maximise your viewing time, like all the big streaming platforms. So something which lets you just carry on watching the same stuff you know you like isn't a good investment for them, and possibly detracts from their strategy.

Thank you. I came across New Series feature, and it might come in useful at a later date, rather than the specific programmes I'm interested in.
