Sky users will receive an update to their Sky planner which aims to make the navigation and organisation of series links easier.

From Wednesday (April 1), the planner has been re-ordered to include a new Scheduled tab, which displays upcoming recordings. Users will also get a Smart Series Link which remembers to record all episodes of future seasons when they come back on TV.

One of the most welcome navigational changes is that a user's most recently recorded shows will now appear at the top of the planner, rather than the bottom - that means no more hours of endless scrolling to select the episode of Homes under the Hammer you'd like to watch.

These updates come with the ability to delete whole series from the Planner with a single press of the yellow Delete All button, and the option to watch full-screen trailers on Sky Movies and Sky Store.

Sky has worked with RNIB to develop new settings for partially sighted customers, with options for increased colour contrast and bold lettering.

It has also developed a new Family setting which will hide all adult channels, and pin protect all pre-watershed on-demand content.

Finally, the Eco mode has been extended by 50%, automatically switching off your SkyHD box from 2.45am to 5.45am in order to save energy.

Sky users can also expect more updates later this year, including the Sky Restart feature, which allows customers to jump back to the beginning of a movie broadcast that has already started.
