Give your box a re-boot.

No, with Anytime+ it is renamed Showcase but that is the only difference. If you don't have Anytime+ you should have the full Anytime, just as it has always been.

Is your box new? It can take several days to fill up if it is. If its not, try a Planner Rebuild first, Services>Settings, 001 and press Select then 7 and Select twice. This will not remove any recordings.

If that does not work, you could try a Software Update. Post back if you need instructions.

Thanks both, tried both suggestions but still only 2 listings in my Anytime
I've had the box for about 2 years I guess.

Any ideas?

When did you try the suggestions as it will take overnight for any impact.

Try a software update. Go to Standby for a minute, then switch the power off. Hold down the back-up button on the box, not the remote, wait until the lights on the front of the box come on and remove your finger*. A message should appear on the TV screen saying that the box is “Updating System Software – Please wait”. It takes 10-15 minutes then it will go into Standby, give it another 15 minutes, then switch it on. Again this will not effect your recordings.

Anytime programs are downloaded at night so you will not see an immediate improvement, if there is going to be one. Remember to leave your box in Standby.

Edit * From the button of course

Another Edit - Forgot to point that out Red, he should wait till tomorrow to before trying a SW download.

Daft point, but do you leave your STB plugged in overnight?

Some people do disconnect all the power to their Sky STB or press the on/off button until it goes red.

Both these will stop your STB from downloading any Anytime/Showcase content overnight.

Another thing that can prevent you from receiving Anytime content is if you have one feed connected and working fully. Could I suggest that you check by pressing the following on your Sky remote:

<Services> <Right> <Down> <Right> <Right> <Right>
