A free app to allow iPhone and iPod Touch users to set up Sky+ recordings from their mobile phone has been made available on iTunes today.
The application offers a view of Sky's 7 day electronic programme guide, searchable by time, day and programme name. A "record" option sends a request to Sky's system, which in turn sets up the recording on an owner's Sky+ or Sky+ HD box via satellite. The option must be used at least 30 minutes prior to the start of the programme.
"Whether you're stuck at work, in the pub or gym, or have simply forgotten to record something, this free application is perfect for those situations when you hear about a TV show and want to record it there and then," said a Sky spokesperson.
