Apologies if this has been covered before (I can't believe I'm the first person to experience this problem) -
A couple of weeks ago I was setting up recordings before going on holiday for two weeks, mostly it was just setting up series links, but I also wanted to set up to record the AllBlacks vs Wales rugby game. When I went to the planner it stopped before the date of the rugby game so I couldn't use that to set it up. I checked the user manual and found the manual recording option so tried to use that, but when I went to set it up there was no option to enter a date, just time and day, so you can only set up manual recordings up to 7 days in advance.
I phoned the help(less) line (why do I put myself through this torments) and after the usual pass the phone around several different people and explaining the problem over and over again eventually they said they would get someone to call me back within the next half an hour. Needless to say I'm still waiting....!
I got round the problem by setting up a manual recording for the time I wanted 2 weeks early and then choosing the repeat option so it recorded the same time and channel every week while I was away - but there must surely be a better way - as I pointed out to one of the Sky representatives my video recorder allowed me to set up recordings for up to a year in advance so two weeks shouldn't be that much of a challenge for MySky.... should it?
Any thoughts, comments or more obvious/better solutions?
