Sky + record issue

[sunbird]

Hi Sky-user forum - hope you can help me with a problem.

Yesterday I had set Sky+ to record both sessions of the Ryder Cup on Sky Sports 1. Later in the evening I went to Planner and saw that both sessions had recorded and the yellow 'usage bar' confirmed their place on the hard drive.

I skipped through the morning session and went back to Planner for the afternoon session. I noticed something odd in the listing in Planner, where it should have read Sky Sports , - ie. indicating the channel recorded - it read:

€1o

the 'o' had an apostrophe (') over it

When I pressed select the message 'checking purchase info..' came up. followed by 'you cannot purchase this... please call 0844 (sky help number)

I called Sky. I was told that Ryder Cup was 'copyright material' and that it was not possible to record it and this was why the error message had come up.

I told the support guy I had already watched the morning session, and end up being fobbed off with a 'remote call back'.

Any ideas what happened?

Is there any truth to the 'copyright material' claim? I had recorded the standard Sky Sports channel, not HD or 3D

Many thanks.

Just about everything Sky broadcasts is copyright, so that is a load of nonsense. There would be a lot of very annoyed golfers if that was the case.

You could try doing a Planner rebuild, that may fix it.
