Not so easy
For some reason best know to itself my Sky+ HD box decided to record only the second half of Stargate Universe this week. 
No problem I thought, I’ll watch it on the much flaunted updated Sky Player that integrates with Windows 7 which was launched on the 19th November. Installation and registration onto my ASRock Nettop went fine and all initially appeared OK…
Sky's Sales Pitch
I log into the system and only see last weeks episode of Stargate Universe which is a real shame as nobody seems to have added this weeks episode yet (other series I have check before have been OK) . Now I’ll have to wait until they update it before I can watch the whole episode. Poot!
Whilst installing Sky Player it I did notice a few other oddities…
Some of the Episode details do not match up to the footage they are linked to, e.g. the present weeks episode of Modern Family actually has the title and synopsys of NEXT weeks episode. I saw the blurb and thought nice! I haven’t seen that one yet only to find it was this weeks which I had already seen! how disappointing :-/
When Installing Sky Player I noticed it said about the capabilities for integration into Windows 7′s Media Centre – there’s even a video of it. However the only info it says on how to actually access it is “Start Media Centre and select Sky Player”. But what if there is no SKY item listed as is the case with mine? it’s really not very helpful.
moving goalposts
I tried to check out the Forums (basically “you sod off and support yourself” so we can save money on any actual decent Support model) and that was as buggy as hell too. The Posts are erratically displayed all over the place with many parts repeated and the Search box allows you to enter only grayed out text and when you click ‘Search’ it does nothing.
Actually – in the last few mins of writing this post the’re forums have been taken down. The Link to it has been replaced with a “Register for free” button!
Come on guys! get your act together!
