Question
How do I use the ‘Keep’ button on the Sky planner?
(Submitted by Angela C )
Our Answer
The ‘Keep’ button can be found on the Sky+ and Sky+ HD Planner and related to recording s that you’ve made on your Sky+ box.
A Sky+ box only has a limited amount of hard drive space, and when the box gets nearly full, it has to start making decisions.
If the box is full and you’ve scheduled a recording, by default the box will delete your oldest watched recording, to free space for the new recording. If you want to stop the Sky+ box deleting an important programme, you can select the programme and press the “Keep” button. The box won’t ever delete a programme that you’ve marked with “Keep”
Disk Management
The Sky+ box default setting is to use ‘Automatic’ Disk Management, meaning that it will start deleting the oldest watched programmes first when it needs space.
You can change the box settings so this doesn’t ever happen. To do this, go to the Settings menu – Look for the ‘Disk Management’ option, and change from ‘Automatic’ to ‘Manual’. The danger of using this setting is that if the box is full, no new recordings will be made until you free up some space.
I recorded a programme after watching it , I pressed : K instead of delete got now pin.
So can’t get rid of it ‘ how do I get rid of it please tell me it’s driving me MAD???
Sky plus planner is too full.
I turned my box off , unplugged, pulled card , wait a minute , plug back in , card back in , turn on , when it eventually came on the planner was still full , but after 30mins it had gone back to 100% recording space.
How do I get rid of the K.
You have to enter your PIN number, usually the last 4 did gets of your viewing card number. If you can’t find your pin then you can change it through the my sky website or by phoning sky.
Good post. I learn something new and challenging on blogs I stumbleupon every day.
It’s always exciting to read through content from other authors and use something from other sites.
