Sky SMS scheduling coming soon

Almost any television I watch is via the Sky+ personal-video-recorder sat downstairs. I rarely watch live TV. Now and again it’d be useful to be able to access the Sky+ box remotely to setup recording of a particular show. So I hope this feature is on the way.

I’m not sure how easy it would be to use though? What would you type? ‘Record TOPGEAR’? It’d be rather cool if we could get to the point whereby you could use some sort of Qtags style keyword to record a show. E.g. You see an ad on the train for the next series of Big Brother starting next week with a keyword saying ‘text BB718′ to automatically record every episode. That would be rather swish.
