In the ever-evolving world of home entertainment, a common question that arises for Sky Q users is “Does Sky Q remember series?” This isn’t just about saving a few episodes; it’s about how the platform manages your viewing habits and keeps track of the shows you’re invested in.
Understanding Sky Q’s Series Link Feature
The phrase “Does Sky Q remember series” directly relates to a core functionality of the Sky Q system known as the ‘Series Link’. When you record a single episode of a show, Sky Q offers you the option to set up a Series Link. This is more than just a recording shortcut; it’s the key to Sky Q remembering your entire favourite series.
Once a Series Link is active, Sky Q automatically programmes your Sky Q box to record every new episode of that particular series that is broadcast on the channel you selected. This includes:
- New episodes broadcast live.
- New episodes available On Demand (depending on your subscription and broadcaster rights).
- Episodes broadcast on different days or times within the same week.
This intelligent recording system ensures you don’t miss out. Here’s how it typically works:
- You watch a show you enjoy.
- You press the ‘Record’ button.
- Sky Q prompts you with “Record this?” and often offers “Record series link?”.
- Selecting “Record series link?” tells Sky Q to remember this series for you.
The Series Link effectively creates a watchlist of future broadcasts. Here’s a look at some common scenarios:
| Scenario | Sky Q Action |
|---|---|
| New episode airs | Automatically records |
| Show moves to a new channel | May prompt for confirmation or update link |
| Series ends | Link remains active until a new season is announced |
So, to answer the question directly, yes, Sky Q remembers series through its sophisticated Series Link feature, making it incredibly convenient to keep up with all your favourite programmes without having to manually set recordings for each new episode.
