Well in fact you are not texting your Sky box directly you text a standard Sky number 61759 then Sky send the instructions to you r Sky box to record the appropriate programme via you phone line, so you must have the Sky box connected to a valid phone line.

The syntax for the text is;

Channel (name or number). Date DD/MM. Time HH:HH

So for example;

Sky news. 04/12. 09:00

Notice the . (dot) in between each part, this is important so the Sky computer can separate the channel from the date and the time.

If you don’t want to mess around with texts and you have an android mobile phone like the HTC G1 or HTC Hero you can install an application on to your phone which allows you to search through programming and select what you want to record, makes it a bit easier and quicker than a text and it’s pretty cool!

The new features for the Sky Cards Project what-dish-size are;

1. Location based details, so the town of Sky dish is show in text
2. Bigger map size to show more Sky dish locations
3. Depending on which country a Sky dish is in we will provide a link to a corresponding country information page
4. When you click on a Sky dish location the map will snap and make the Sky dish in the centre for better reading of information

We will roll out these changes a.s.a.p and we hope you like them.

Remember to make the Sky Cards Project what-dish-size a success, we need as many people kindly submitting thier dish size if they already receive Sky TV.

And we will keep making improvements to Sky Cards – Project what-dish-size

The aim of the new tool is to provide a platform in which prospective Sky TV viewers can find out what dish size they need in a given location and for current Sky TV viewers to share with the tool what dish size they have that receive Sky TV where they live.

The tools uses a Google map interface which makes it easy to view and share the locations of various dish sizes.

The tool is an open tool as we believe this is the best way to share this type of information in an easy and accessible way. However the information given is presented as a guide only for what dish size you may need although it is monitored closely to prevent spammers submitting way off dish sizes and causing problems.

The coolest09 thing we think is that it show where the Sky satellite resides in it’s geostationary orbit and on the viewer, you can see all the submitted dishes pointing to the once source.

The tellies are expected to be on sale next year.
