Sky TV gazumps TiVo with remote recording

Chris Keall | Monday August 10 2009 – 05:06am

With the launch of the TVNZ-backed TiVo just months away, Sky TV has announced it will match the service’s killer point-of-difference – from Friday week.

Sky TV’s MySky subscribers – representing around 10% of its customer base – will be the new Remote Recording feature from Friday 21.

The service, modelled on those already launched by Foxtel in Australia and BSkyB in the UK, will let subscribers remotely set their MySky decoders via the web. After accessing a password-protected area of SkyTV’s website, they will be able to click on the shows they want to record.

A basic txt-to-record option will be available for cellphones from the 21st, with a more fully-featured mobile service on the way.
