Mandy,
You can't use Sky Plus to control a Sky Q box.
All the best
Steve

Oh no what a shame Sarah.
If you just want to use Sky plus, then the app is very accessible it's just
that I am with Virgin for broadband and the phone and so think I would save
money changing to Virgin.

Hi All,
As someone who's just switched to Sky and been provided with the Sky Q service
for which the app does not work like the Virgin TV anywhere ap i.e.
to control the box, set recordings, view what you've recorded etc I'd say the
virgin app is excellent. I am really regretting moving to sky now as I now
have to rely on my partner to see what we've recorded, set recordings etc. I
did check all this when I rang Sky and they said it would work fine but well
they obviously said what they had to to get me to switch.
Thanks,
Sarah

Hi all.
I can use the TV Anywhere app without difficulty. You can use up to two
devices; I don’t know about listening to recordings via the phone.
Hope this helps,
Mike

Hi Mandy,
LONG TIME NO SPEAK!:)
I was interested to know that you think the Virgin Media app is now
working quite well with the iPhone handset and Voice-Over. If you try
it and/or switch because it's good, I'd really like to know as we came
away from using Virgin's TV because (at that time) things didn't work
well, but it may be a reasonable solution for us, rather than
searching round for a suitable box or TV that has a recorder in it and speech.
I do like to keep up with these things so hope to hear from you,
either way, please.

VirginMedia for our broadband and phone, I am thinking of switching
to them for the TV.
A friend of mine showed me his phone and the app seems quite
accessible with a few advantages such as being able to record radio
programmes which I cannot do on Sky, also swiping up to delete a
programme but I have been told it can only work on one phone whereas
the Sky plus app works on more than one.
I am hoping someone on this list uses Virgin and their app and can
tell me how they find it for accessibility. I thought I read
somewhere that recordings can be played via the phone.
Also, we might have to buy a new TV. Any recommendations please?
Mandy.
