unless you upgrade to sky hd.....
Hello again, been thinking weather to get Sky Plus or not. Is it really good or nothing special.
Do i or dont i ?
It definalty worth it imho, you can pause live tv, record another sky channel at the same time, tell it to record all new episodes of soap etc no matter what time they are aired and it will get them, you can evan use mobile text service to tell your box to record something if your not at home but want it recorded!
I took the plunge just before christmas and it's great. not worrying about being in for things, series link stuff, pausing tv when the phone
rings or you need to check on dinner. it's great.

Would rather lose the missus than the sky+

Forget sky plus, get a DVD recorder or hard disc recorder. You can still record off the settop box or a freeview channel, you can pause live TV, you can start watching a programme that is part way through recording or watch an old programme whilst recording another - But you don't have to pay a monthly subscription to use your own box.
I'm with most people, get sky+, it is great. Series link, record two channels while watching a previous recording, quality is great. Disk space
could be better, but that easily resolved.
definately the best product sky have ever launched (and if you subscribe to a sports or movie package no monthly charge either)
Another vote for Sky+ here
My only bugbear with Sky+ is the series links break if the program isn't on for a week 
Can you just buy a Sky+ box and use it to recieve Freeview + some others , with a viewing card , No monthly subscriptions , and still use the hard disk recorder and time slip facilities............I think so
You lot not got better things to do than watch the idiot box?
Like....erm, let's think.... like build your frikkin cars!
Don't subject yourselves to the evil scum of the earth that is Mr. Murdoch!
Happy Building!

I had Sky Plus for a couple of years and cancelled my subscription (downgraded to FreeSat) last summer as I found I was watching all sorts of crap
until the early hours when I should have been spending time in the garage
I now watch mainly BBC until 9.00pm and sit on here until the early hours ........... I really need to get out more
Sky+ is brilliant and we couldn't live without it! Forget DVD recorders and PVR's linked to your PC because they will never be as slick and
useable as Sky+. The whole system JUST WORKS and leaves the kids with no excuse for not coming to the dinner table...
Cheers,

I love the way you can pause it when you go to the toilet, then when an ad break is on you can forward straight through it! Means you dont have to
hold yourself for the ad breaks anymore!
God we are sad! But it does change the way you watch telly, basically you can sit down in the evening and watch back to back decent programs you have
recorded through out the day.
Yup - second everything Chris just said, wouldn't be without it
