Hi all
Apologies if this question has already been covered somewhere on this list.
Just wondering is there any update on the Saorview situation.
My position is that I've currently got an older flat-screen TV, with just free
to air (can't afford sky etc. just now), and am also thinking of getting a
second TV for the kitchen.
My questions are:
1. Given that I'll have to get a Saorview box for the other TV, are they still
inaccessible?
2. For the new TV, I presume it's vital to get one that's Saorview ready? But I
also presume that this too in terms of menus etc. will be inaccessible?
Would very much appreciate any guideance/ideas anyone might have.
All the best

Hi Ciaran and all,
Thanks again Ciaran for sending on the info below in relation to UPC and their
new remote record solution.
I've played with this a bit over the weekend and found it very accessible.
Whilst the desktop version can be used, the mobile site is much cleaner and
would be recommended at the moment for screen reader users.
Interestingly I have something series linked on my box at the moment but the
web application has not detected that, I think it only shows you programmes
that you scheduled through the app itself, which would make some sense I guess.
Regards,
Stuart.

Hi all,
Finally, it looks like UPc are about to introduce their remote record facility.
It will allow users to schedule recordings over the web or via smartphones.
The online web interface (intended for use on mobile devices) is available at:
http://m.tv-guide.upc.ie
It seems very accessible, at least with IE7 and JFW12 anyway. My box is
currently powered off, so can't comment on how easy it is to schedule an actual
recording.
The desktop version will be accessible via MyUPC at:
https://service.upc.ie/cckservices/myupc/
A native iPhone app will be launched in the coming days. Other platforms will
have to make do with the mobile version linked to above for now.
A valid MyUPC account is required to use the service.
I'd be very interested to hear how people find this, it's one of the big
advantages Sky had over UPC.
