Never miss the start of a Sky Movie again.

Watch From Start

Never miss the start of a Sky Movie again if your Sky+HD box is connected to broadband.

When selecting a Sky Movie that has already started, after the Search & Scan banner has dissapeared a message will appear in the bottom left of the screen prompting you to press Green to Watch from Start.

Once Green is pressed the box will then start downloading the movie from OnDemand and play it back.

If the movie is available in both SD & HD OnDemand then depending on what your Sky+HD boxes “OnDemand Download Format” settings is set to the box will either:

• Give you the option to “Download in HD” or “Download in SD".
• Or automatically download your preferred format.

If the movie has been pushed to the boxes reserved storage by Sky then playback will begin instantly.

If you dismiss this message by pressing Back Up you can still Watch From Start by pressing Select to display the Search & Scan banner and then pressing Green. (Select then Select again if the movie has been pushed to the box.)
