Sharing finally coming?
I dont know if anyone has watched the demo video on channel 998 and the section that shows a password being put in for wifi, well clearly in that part of the video there is a tab next to the Network tab called Sharing which is clearly not in the R8 software (that I still have) and is unlikely to be in the R9 as its not something that is supposed to be added with that release.
Anyway I have been informed that that is for planner sharing!
I think this should be checked out before Easter is over as Sky might change the video if they realised they have released something too early!
I cant see them doing anything about it before Tuesday though.

I know Ive herd that those insiders that did have planner sharing had it taken off their boxes, so who knows whats going to happen with it!
What I do know is that planner sharing is part of the software and has been since about R6 last year, its just Sky havent bothered to do anything with it!
With this in the video though its clear its there, what I dont get is why Sky spent time and money developing it and havent used it! (yet!)
I hope they one day see sense and use it!
What I hope to happen with getting this out there, is that people see this and Sky sees that they have let something slip and rethink about using what they spent many months developing!
How do you know they haven't bothered?
Maybe it needs more work, maybe they need more rights (so it doesn't launch like VM's which was a disappointment).
It could be coming in the next two weeks according to my brother's wife's cousin who knows all about things technical.
I think he was refering to them removing the video of Sky Intro, not them launching Sharing.
Yes you are right I was talking about the video there!
From what I know, nothing has been done with it for a while, its just been sitting on certain people's boxes (testers and insiders like Sky employees ect apparently) for a while and under the hood but not active in the rest of our boxes from R6 update last year!
I would say its likely still there (just hidden away), as people like testers have had R9 a lot longer than we have!
I know that multiroom can be to watch two things at once in two separate rooms but how often could recording one and streaming it to a second box be used as an alternative to having a multiroom sub?
Or have Sky factored this in by only offering full all channel planner sharing if you pay a multiroom sub to cover the option?
You can only share between other boxes on your sky subscription, so multiscreen is required.
Thats a good idea!
Sky normally preview things about 12/18months before they arrive on boxes.
In what respect? You weren't given that long a preview of R009...
Just expect it to never turn up then you won't be disappointed.
each box would have to have a viewing card able to decode the shared program and thus multi screen would be needed
planner sharing would be a great bonus to multiscreen not only doubling your recording capacity but being about to start watching something recorded on you living room tv and finish watching it on another tv would be great.
I hope it is released soon might make me keep my multiroom sub when it runs out
Bank holiday Monday!!
LOL I dont think he means that though!:D
I meant to say within the next two weeks not two weeks to the day. It could be tomorrow or next week but a surprise will be coming.:)
Not planner sharing though, that's for sure.
*gets excited*
Well you wouldn't have to use it! it wouldn't effect anything with your existing planner! it will probably appear like the different categories do in the planner as it is.
