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.


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


Hi @GRS67 Not that I am aware of but I wil post back if I find out anything else.  It's pretty useful though and I have already used it multiple times.

Interesting they brought reminders back, the cynic in me wonders whether it is a ploy to "encourage" people from Sky Q to Sky stream.

That was precisely my first thought. It's absolutely designed to do that.

It's designed too for those who still watch live TV and don't plan their own on demand schedules. The EPG and live TV element of Sky Stream is really one of its major USPs, so adding reminders will be a useful addition for those (often elderly) customers who like to browse the TV guide, set reminders and view things as they are broadcast.

Hi @Ryan1509 

 

Refreshing apps won't update your puck software. That will update apps such as iPlayer etc and can take 24 hours. But yes sky push updates out in batches.
