Using AutoView to change channels automatically
You can set up the Personal Planner to tune to a programme automatically rather than showing you a reminder – this is called AutoView. A reminder banner will still be displayed one minute before the programme is due to start, and your Sky digibox will tune to the selected programme at its start time unless you intervene by pressing back up.
AutoView is particularly useful if you want to record programmes. For further information on recording satellite TV programmes, refer to Recording a satellite programme on page 39.
To turn AutoView on or off, highlight the programme in the Personal Planner, then press the ‘AutoView’ (red) key. An ‘A’ icon is shown next to the programme, indicating that AutoView is on for that programme.
AutoView may not be available for certain programmes, such as Box Office programmes.
If the programme selected for AutoView has a rating higher than your current Parental Control Restrictions, Sky Guide reminds you to disable these Restrictions to permit unattended recording of the programme.
Using Series Link for a series or regular programme
If the Series Link option appears
Press the ‘Series Link’ (green) key if you want to watch the next episode. The Series Link icon (see page 16) is then shown next to the programme indicating that the link is set. You can link only programmes that are broadcast on the same channel.
When Sky Guide tunes your digibox to the programme, the next episode will be automatically added to your Personal Planner with the link set.
If your Sky digibox does not tune to the listed episode (perhaps because you have chosen to watch something else), the link will be broken and future episodes of the programme will not be added to your Personal Planner. You will need to reselect the programme from the listings to set the link again.
You can link only programmes that are part of a series.
