Sky's free internet-based remote-recording service now live

[Bob Crabtree]

On the day that Sky stopped supplying its 'basic' (non-sports and non-movie) TV channels to cable - see, Sky pulls its non-premium channels from Virgin Media cable - the company delivered a further poke in the eye to its competitor by announcing that its free internet-based remote-recording service is now live.

Sky says that the arrival of Remote Record means that millions of viewers with Sky+ and Sky HD boxes can now set recordings of their favourite shows where ever in the world they're online.

More.

Best news I've heard all day. I sometimes use the tt message service to record programs but this will make everything so much easier

I'm sure I saw this running about 6 months ago

Seems like someone at BskyB knows their market - shame I cannot have Sky where I live (plus the cost outweighs the benefits for me - too much money).

Must tell my mate who has it, though I am sure the marketing team has already done that for me... ;-)
