BSkyB has released a new version of its Sky+ TV app for iOS adding support for iOS 7 and the ability to send On Demand downloads to your set-top box.

Featuring a TV guide with full seven-day listings for all your Sky TV channels, remote record functionality, search and discovery features, recommendations, and favorites, Sky+ now also does remote recording.

You can set your Sky+HD box to record your favorite TV programs and find them ready for watching when you come back home, all from your iPad.

BSkyB explains: “If your Sky+HD box is connected to the internet you can send On Demand downloads to your box when you're out and about so that it's ready to watch when you get home.”

Sky+ version 4.7 also now fully supports iOS 7. To use the enhanced features, customers need a compatible Sky+HD box and to have the iDevice connected to the same broadband network. An HD subscription is not required. Download Sky+ 4.7 for your iPad today.
