I found Tata-Sky very useful especially because it has a feature of setting reminders for the programs which are scheduled to be telecasted later.
What I dont like…or rather I would say I wish I had a feature in TataSky which allowed me to set reminders not only via the indexed program list, but also when there is some commercial going on for a movie or a soap I wish to watch.
To explain it a bit further, say I am watching a channel on which they are broadcasting an advertisement about a forthcoming movie next week at 8pm. So if I wish to watch this movie, either I should rely on very limited and short memory OR I should go to program list, browse through it so that i can reach that particular timeslot and set reminder (which is just soooo many clicks/presses if this movie is scheduled after a week).
There should be single button click option right there which should allow me to set reminder than and there for this telecast. Right there!
Technically, I think this should be quite possible. What TataSky needs to do probably is to get broadcasters like Sony or Star to tag there advertisement pertaining to forthcoming telecast. Just catch these tags and display an option for user to click ‘red’ button to set reminder.
Simple isnt?
