PLAYING RECORDINGS
Playing back recordings
When it comes to watching what you’ve recorded, you have several options.
To watch a rated programme before its normal watershed time,
you need to enter your PIN. The times are shown here on the right.
For details on using your PIN and parental control settings, see
Having more control over kids’ viewing (page 59).
Choosing a recording to watch
All recordings are stored in your Planner.
1 Go to your Planner.
2 Highlight the recorded programme and press play or select.
The Playback screen appears and you may need to enter your PIN.
3 Use the left/right arrow to choose your starting point:
Start – plays the recording from the beginning.
End – plays back the last 10 seconds of the recording. This is handy if you want
to check the whole programme was recorded.
Last Viewed – joins the recording where it was stopped last time you watched it.
User Defined – lets you choose where you want it to start (for example, press 2
to start playback two minutes into the recording).
Bookmark – starts playback from bookmarks you have set.
4 Press select or play when you’re ready to start the programme.

SHORTCUT
You can go into your Sky Guide pages without interrupting playback and the mini TV will show the programme so you don’t miss anything
(audio only in full screen mode). But if you’re still rewinding, fast forwarding or in slow motion mode when you go into the Sky Guide pages, this
action stops and the programme starts playing back from that point. Press Sky to leave the Sky Guide pages and go back to watching your
recording programme in full screen.
