Sky launches TV listings website Sky Guide

Sky has launched a revamped version of TV listings website Sky Guide, designed to help its 10m subscribers get the best out of programming on the satellite platform.

Sky's previous online multichannel TV listings guide has been "completely redesigned" to make it easier and quicker to use.

The new Sky Guide site features daily and hourly recommendations of the top shows, along with programme trailers, video clips, images and editorial, such as interviews with stars.



The site includes the Sky remote record functionality enabling users to set up recordings on their Sky+ set top boxes while away from the home.

Its launch is part of an overall multi-platform strategy from Sky, including the launch of the Sky Go online and mobile TV viewing service this summer.



Simon Hinde, the head of editorial in Sky's emerging products team, said: "Following the launch of Sky Go, this is the latest step in our strategy to use the web and mobile to put Sky customers in control of their viewing and help them to get the best from their Sky TV subscription."

Sky Guide also joins the existing TV listings application available on the iPhone, as well as a similar app launched on the iPad last December.
