▼▼▼▼ 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.

AutoView is particularly useful if you want to record progr am m es. For further inf or m ation on recording satellite TV programmes, refer t o “Recording a satellite programm e” on page 32.

AutoView may not be available for certain programmes, such as Box Office programmes. If the programme selected for AutoView has a rating higher t han your cur r ent Parental Control

Restrictions, Sky Guide reminds you to disable these Restrict ions t o per m it unattended recording of the prog r amme.
