Users can enable the new feature by browsing to Settings > Setup > Preferences > Maximum number of recordings and boosting it to six.
While this is advantageous if the perfect storm of TV clashes overwhelms you, it does come with a caveat.
Sky says the feature will prepare fans for “the exciting line-up of sport, TV shows and movies that will be hitting screens this summer.”
So, if there are six other things on when Game of Thrones hits Sky Atlantic next month, Sky has got you covered.
