Sharing planner content between boxes was scrapped a long time ago.

I'll stop looking out for it then.

The network box is an idea though.

 

[V F]

I was hoping for it as well. No way will Sky come out with a network box.

New update coming:

Got this last night, I like it.

Old box?

Must be TV not allowing 5.1 to go through. (Viera 42UT)

Why not get an optical splitter?

So connect via optical splitter my Playbar to both the TV and Sky box?

I connected via optical Playbar->Sky, the problem is when I turn off the telly sound keeps going through the Playbar

It's your TV, it doesn't decode DD. My panasonic 50gt50 is the same.

TV > optical > splitter / Playbar > Sky
\ PC

TV > optical > splitter / Playbar > Sky

And how would the playbar being an output and the Sky box an input behave ? I'm tempted to give it a shot if a splitter isn't too much. I'll have a look online for one. Thanks for the suggestion

let me check in the morning, I think I've still got my splitter laying about somewhere.

You can have it if I can find it, think it's 4 in 1 out. Have to switch by hand though.

Thanks cyclops, appreciate it! It will be awesome if I can finally enjoy my Playbar in 5.1 as I bought it based on a post I found online from someone saying that my TV model supports 5.1...

no problem I'll dig it out, just plug your sky and pc in to the splitter then splitter to the play bar, no need to plug in the TV unless you're using the inbuilt freeview.

 

[cyclops12]

Found it, it's 3 in 1 out.

No box though. Trust me your address and I'll pop it in the post

 

[cyclops12]

Got the trust, no worries on postage but thanks for the offer.

Potentially stupid question... At a friends place skimming through the EPG and figured the yellow text is HD quality but why are some boxes grey instead of blue? What does that signify?

 

[V F]

Have they got subtitled programmes selected?

 

[Kenai]

No idea, nothing has subtitles while watching regardless of whether the programme was blue or grey on the EPG.

 

[Westyfield2]

Is it the highlight if in HD option?

 

[Kenai]

Is it the highlight if in HD option?

No that seems to be the yellow text. I'm not going to delve through the options as it's not mine to fiddle with, it just looks a mess having about 50% in grey and wondered why it would be like that.

I guess it'll be availability of subtitles or wide-screen format etc.

You can have subtitled programmes selected on the EPG without subtitles on the content.

Another potentially stupid question, sorry! How do I tell if this latest update has been applied to my Sky+ HD box?
