I think that has been there a while, but what has happened is the order of the information on that page has changed, as for one the UI version used to be further down the list

[Super+Anthony]

Oh ok but thank you @MarkGoldsmith you very helpful as always 

Any other changes have you spotted on the system?

Hi @Super+Anthony You are now able to set reminders for programmes to let you know when they are about to start on another channel is a great new feature.

[Super+Anthony]

Awesome @Fothergill1 . How does one do that? 

[Fothergill1]

@Super+Anthony .  Go to the TV listings/EPG and find a programme where you want to set a reminder.  Highlight it and press the select button on your remote and you will see the usual "+ Add series" but next to it is a bell icon which you need to select to set the reminder.

When the programme is about to start a reminder appears at the top of you screen giving you an option to watch or dismiss.

It's really useful and I have used it a number of times already.

[Super+Anthony]

Whoop - everyone loves reminders! It's like it's 2006 all over again! 

I wonder if Sky have done this to deliberately annoy all those Sky+ HD customers who switch to Q, only to discover that it doesn't have reminders...???

It's a clever thing to do to lure more people over to streaming.

@Super+Anthony   Yes, it was a rather nice suprise considering it wasn't on Sky Q

Yes, and it makes sense to bring it up the list. Pretty much everytime there's an update to the version number, people will asked what's changed and why they can't see any difference. What most people are actually looking for is UI changes, so hopefully having the UI version number higher up will help people know when something changes that they might actually notice.

Much appreciated,  much needed feature that I'll use a lot...Are the reminders stored somewhere where you can view what you've set?

[Super+Anthony]

Completely agree @GD1 it's a huge positive step by Sky

It's definitely a big plus, any idea if reminders get put somewhere you can manage?
