Amro, Yes, that's what I do. It's not the easiest of things to set a recording, though you can do it from the remote if you memorise how and have a TV guide to hand, or, if you only want to record one show at a time, from the web or via a text message. Playing back programmes is also a matter of memory as of course there's no spoken feedback with Sky, but it's one key for the TV guide, another to get to your recordings, cursor to one you want and a double press of select to play it. My box records them in date order, but I don't have HD or anything so don't know if this is a constant. I quite happily record and play many things, but there's no way I can remember everything that's on there now as some of it goes bacck quite a while. It's only a few keypresses to get the latest one, though, so as an aid to recall I tend to go backward through the list rather than from the top. Of course if you noted down exactly what you'd recorded somehow you could just count presses. I'm just not that organised. I wish the Sky Talker read this info. Until a digibox firmware update comes along this isn't even possible, and I'm doubtful as to whether or not it'll happen soon, if at all. Sean. ________________________________ From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Amro Bilal Sent: Monday, November 08, 2010. 11:43 AM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Audio described programs on iPlayer No Sean, that is quite helpful. Thank you. So you add the series to your Sky plus recording list or whatever it is called, and your digital box then records the episodes automatically when they are aired? I may consider upgrading to Sky plus if that is the case. Still though, why the damn every simple task has to be an elaborate project for us. *frustrated* Cheers, Amro ----- Original Message ----- From: Sean Randall <mailto:seanr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, November 08, 2010 10:54 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Audio described programs on iPlayer Amro, I've found that many a series on iPlayer is missing at least one episode described, even when that episode has been described on air. I've never received a satisfactory explanation from the BBC as to why this should be, despite numerous enquiries when series have been running. I have Sky+ now, and simply use that instead. I'm at least guaranteed my audio description that way. Not of much help to you I know, but at least you're not losing your marbles.

I mean a TV series with only some of its episodes audio described? I am trying to find the audio described versions of the current episodes of Reggie Perrin and Being Human on BBC iPlayer but they don't seem to be there. Unless I am going senile, I am sure last week's instalments were audio described! Sorry if this is a basic question but, believe it or not, I started paying attention to the audio description feature only very recently. I gave audio description a go a couple years back but found it to be intrusive. I tried it again in the past few weeks but I am finding it to be very useful this time! Any thoughts?
