SETTING REMINDERS FOR PROGRAMMES
If you want to watch a TV programme that’s on later, Sky Guide can remind you
when it’s about to start.
When you see a listed TV programme you want to watch, simply highlight it and
press select.
• In the Search & Scan banner, a reminder symbol appears next to the
programme title.
• From full-screen listings such as TV Guide, your Planner appears, showing
your entire list of selected programmes.
See Using your Planner (page 20) for details.
If you see a promotional advert for future programme(s) and you see the green
set reminder option, you can set up a reminder for that programme or series.
Press the green key before the end of the advert and follow the instructions
onscreen.
One minute before the programme starts, the reminder message appears.
• Press select to tune to the programme.
• Press record to start recording the programme.
• Press back up to carry on with what you were watching.
