How to install & set up SKY Mobile(TV app) in a Nokia Phone (..Say aNokia N95)

and using Sky by Mobile on the
Nokia N95
Sky by Mobile’s Remote Record
feature lets you set your Sky box
from your Nokia N95. Here’s
how to set it up
Setting up Remote Record
To set up Remote Record on
your Nokia N95, you first need
to register your viewing card by
setting up a MySky account at
http://www.sky.com/portal/
site/skycom/mysky.
Once your account is set up, you
need to register for Remote
Record via the Sky Active feature
on the ‘digibox’. To do this:
1. Press the interactive button on
your Sky remote control
2. Select Sky Active, then select
Customer Support and pick Your
Sky Features
3. Select Remote Record
Installing Sky by Mobile
You’ll now need to download the
Sky by Mobile application.
Officially, Sky haven’t produced a
version for the Series 60 phones
(which includes the N95), and so
following instructions to
download the software from
http://mobile.sky.com/skyapp/
skyapp.asp will result in a
message that the ‘Service is not
available for your mobile device’.
However, there is a solution. You
can download a generic Symbian
version from Sky. Click on this
link – http://mobile.sky.com/
SBM/SonyE_novid/
SkyMobile_SonyWithoutTv.jar –
and save the file to your
desktop. Upload it to your N95
directly via Bluetooth or using a
USB cable and PC Suite. Once it’s
uploaded, click on the file (or the
message in the case of
Bluetooth) and click Yes if
prompted to begin installation.
You may also see a ‘Security
warning’; just click Continue, and
when prompted to install the
application to phone or card,
highlight Phone memory and
click Select.
After installation is complete,
navigate to the Applications
folder (Main menu >
Applications) and scroll down to
find Sky by mobile. Highlight this
icon and click the centre
selection key to open the
application.
Using Sky by Mobile
The first time you use Sky by
Mobile, you must enter your
username and password. To
enter your MySky username,
highlight the Username field in
yellow and press 5 to enter edit
mode. Enter your username and
click OK. Now highlight Password
and press 5 to enter edit mode
again. Enter your password and
click OK.
Now press Login. If prompted to
‘Allow application Sky by Mobile
to use network and send or
receive data?’, click Yes.
The application will search for
available access points. Highlight
your mobile network connection
(not a wireless LAN link – Sky by
Mobile will only work with your
WAP account) and click Select. If
prompted a second time, select
the same access point and click
Select again.
The Sky by Mobile application
should start loading and you
should soon see the Home Page
featuring three news sections,
the TV guide and a link to Sky
Bet.
Note for O2 users: if the
program doesn’t start (for
instance if it freezes on
connection or if you receive a
network error), you may need to
change your internet settings
manually. See Manual settings for
O2 users for instructions on how
to do this but if you are using
O2, what are you doing in a
NOKIA blog lol?
Anyway, to record a program,
scroll down to Sky TV Guide and
click the central selection key.
Alternatively, click 4 to enter the
TV Guide (clicking 1, 2, 3 or 5 will
enter the corresponding section
of Sky by Mobile).
You’ll see a list of the channel
subject areas just like those on
the electronic programme guide
(EPG) on your Sky box. Click the
corresponding number to enter
the programme guide for that
subject, or scroll to highlight the
subject you want and click the
centre selection key. If you want
to record a programme on the
main terrestrial channels, choose
All Channels.
The instructions screen will
appear. Click OK to enter the EPG.
Use the navigation keys to scroll
around the schedules, and press
the main selection key to view
programme information,
pressing Back to return to the
EPG.
To record a programme,
highlight the programme’s name
in the EPG so it’s displayed in
yellow, and press Record (the left
selection key). You’ll receive
confirmation that your request
has been sent to your Sky box.
Click Back to return to the EPG.
Finding channels
The EPG displays 11 channels per
page on the Nokia N95. To view
further channels, scroll to the
bottom of the page and press
the down navigation key once
more to see the next 11
channels.
To jump straight to a channel
without scrolling through several
pages, press the # key, enter the
three-figure channel ID and
press OK. The EPG will open with
your chosen channel at the top
of the screen.
Programme search
You can search through seven
days’ worth of programme
names and show synopses. From
the Sky TV Guide main menu,
click * and you’ll see the
Programme Search instructions
page. Click OK to begin your
search. Click the main selection
key to activate the highlighted
field (from a choice of Name,
Channel Name, Date and Time)
enter your search text and click
OK to confirm. Click Search for
the search results. You can
record a programme directly
from the search results by
highlighting the programme title
and clicking Record.
Note: Programme search cannot
be accessed once you’re in the
EPG, only from the Sky TV Guide
main menu.
