SKY Plus

Sky+ gives you the freedom to watch TV shows whenever and however you like.

Tapes are a thing of the past

Record programmes directly onto your Sky+ box - no more blank videos or DVDs. Store up to 40 hours of entertainment so you'll always have something great to watch.

Record without the hassle

Recording with Sky+ is easy. An on-screen TV guide displays what's on. Simply choose a show you'd like to watch later and press the record button on your remote control. You can even set up recordings using your mobile phone, and via the web at Sky.com.

Find recorded shows fast

Watching digital TV you've recorded is simple. All the shows you record are stored in your Sky+ box and accessed via your easy-to-use on-screen Sky+ planner. Just highlight what you want to watch and press 'play'.

Never miss any of the action

Pause and restart on-air broadcasts at the touch of a button - ideal if someone calls while you're watching. You can even rewind live TV for your own personal action replay.

Plus all your Sky box favourites

Watch all the channels from your chosen Sky TV package. Set on-screen reminders to prompt you when your favourite shows are on. Safeguard your kids' viewing. And much more.
