New to Sky+ --- Autoview feature?

socks_uk

We upgraded our Sky Yesterday and have a lovely new Sky+hd box which I have been having a bit of a play about with.

One feature I used quite a lot on the old box is 'autoview' but I'm struggling to figure out how to do it on the Sky+hd box. I have found out how to set the 'reminder' but it doesn't turn over automatically. I mainly use 'autoview' for when I'm recording onto my dvdhd recorder when I'm not at home.
Yes, I realise I can record directly onto the Sky+ box but until I have figured out how to then transfer those recordings onto DVD to send to my sister in USA I'll still be recording onto my dvd recorder. Have I missed it in the manual or does the feature not exist with the Sky+ box?

Thanks in advance!

I noticed this when I first moved to Sky+
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work the same you can only remind or record.

I must admit it's a function I miss.

Guess you'll just have to figure out how to treansfer from your digibox to the recorder, sorry

Thank you Tinks. Yes, I guess I'll have to learn pretty quick! It's like all new things, you just want to be up and running but it takes time to READ THE MANUAL! lol I have to be more patient!

I must admit that I mainly used autoview when I was on holiday so I'll just have to keep on top of the Sky+ recordings and delete or copy promptly.


ETA:
Well... had I googled it before asking on here I would have realised how many people are missing the autoview function!
