Well really the point was if on sky plus you record a film, and that film is separated by the news, then Sky planner should be intelligent enough to either
a)Record all the news and the second half of the film or
b) Stop recording at the start of the news, and start recording at the end of it or
c) Warn you that a second part if coming in an hour, and would you care to series link it so it records the second half.
None of these things seem hard.
Nor does, in hindsight thinking, it's ITV its late, they always have the news on at 10, I had better check that it's on after the news and record that bit as well.
