SKY Television confirmed today the launch of RECORD ME on the 6th of July, an exciting new feature enabling subscribers to book a programme for recording directly from a promo.
With the press of a button, MY SKY HDi subscribers will be able to book to record movies, individual programmes, or an entire series, immediately or weeks in advance.
The availability of RECORD ME is signalled through an on screen icon prompting the viewer to press the green button on the MY SKY remote. RECORD ME will be initially available on 27 SKY channels including free-to-air channel PRIME. RECORD ME will also be available on SKY’s pay-per-view channels in the near future. This feature is only available on live viewing.
RECORD ME is part of a comprehensive upgrade programme delivering MY SKY HDi subscribers a number of new user friendly features including a quarter screen video in the electronic programme guide allowing viewers to continue watching a programme while browsing the guide, and new features in the planner including a delete confirmation button and A – Z and genre specific search functionality.
Mike Watson, Director of Marketing said: “Consumers tell us that MY SKY is a life changing experience that transforms their TV viewing. The combination of RECORD ME, the Electronic Programme Guide Enhancements and SKY’s rich content offering, will ensure that MY SKY subscribers will get even more value from their subscription.”
RECORD ME will be available from July 6.

It would be nice if they could roll-out these changes to normal SKY Digital subscribers.
And if they could also fix the programme guide so that it was possible to look at the schedule in advance (depending on how far I go, the schedule just stays blank).
This press release doesn’t exactly explain what “Record Me” does.
For example, if you see an ad on TV for “Mad Men”, a very small green box in the corner will say “Record Me”. So you can record the show you see advertised. Removing the need to find it in the Electronic Programme guide.
