Sky+ app update tosses mobile pics onto the big screen

Sky+ users who have a Sky+HD box in their home may have used the Sky+ application before. The app originally allowed Android users to manage recordings when not at home and use mobile devices as remotes for the set top box if needed.



A new update for the Sky+ app has been pushed out and it adds a new feature that makes it easy to view images stored on your mobile device on a larger screen. The update brings with it the ability to sling images you have taken on your mobile to the big screen for viewing in a larger format.


To work, the smartphone or tablet running the app and the Sky+HD box have to be on the same wireless network. If they are on the same network, users only need to tap the camera icon on the apps nav bar and they can see the images stored on their device.


Those images can be viewed individually on the big screen or users can set up a slideshow to show off a bunch of images. The updated app looks like the Sky+ home page and has a new category called "New & Recommended."
