Sky Remote Record

Anyone given it a go with a WinMo device?

I assume it's a Java app?

No Sky+ here (Sky + WMC) so can't test it!

Seems there not quite ready - or have simply underestimated the volume of traffic on the server that this woudl create.

I've just tried and got an error code 523, which interactive customer services have confirmed as an "ongoing problem" that they are trying to resolve. I was advised to maybe try later (whenever that is I'm not sure) when possibly the server traffic has subsided - "we are inundated at the minute" was the guys comment.

Defo a server traffic issue.

I've just got this from the site when trying to register for sky by mobile -

"Server Error

Backend Timeout Error

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This error indicates that the backend server was slow in responding to this request.

Please try again. If this problem continues, please notify the web server administrator.

Anyone tried the sky by mobile service on a windows PPC and/or smartphone ?

The handsets aren't listed as compatible - but who knows...........

Hmmm - got through registration for Sky by mobile, but the link in the WAP push SMS returns the statement "Service is not available for your mobile device".

Vario BTW

Bugger !

More bad news me thinks.

Looks like Here at SKY it states that to use remote recording, requires the sky by mobile service - which isn't windows mobile comaptible !!

This would be so Kool if it worked !!
