The Sky+ app has the same functionality as the iPhone app which has been
downloaded more than a million times since it arrived last year.

Users can browse listings up to a week ahead by time, day or programme name
and then send an instruction their Sky+ to record a single programme or a
series link.

The order is sent to Sky via WiFi or 3G, then relayed to the individual Sky+
or Sky+HD box by satellite.

David Gibbs, Sky Mobile general manager, said: 'The success of the Sky+ app
indicates that there is a real demand for innovative products such as Remote
Record, which gives our customers more choice and control to plan their
viewing over the TV love when they are on the move and away from home.'
