sky plus enables you to record one programme and watch another at the same time (or record 2 shows at the same time) it also enables you to set up series links to record (soaps, series etc)

I would be lost without my sky plus! Its amazing the best invention since sliced bread.

I also got rid of Sky, because I begrudged paying the monthly subscription (extortionate) for the rubbish they put on.

I then purchased a new TV with Freeview and also a separate digital box and now I can watch one channel and record another without the subscription charges. OK, Freeview doesn't offer as many channels, but it's enough for what I want.

You could just buy 2 digi boxes for approx �50-�60 and save yourself about �200 (minimum) per year subscription charges.

Or one freeview hard drive recorder with twin tuners and series link,

No monthly subscription, does exactly what Sky+ does.

if you mean the fee they used to charge to use sky plus (it used to be �10 per month to have the feature of sky plus) but now its freeeee

Ok you still pay sky charges but you would pay those with a normal box anyway.

I think that's a good deal, I paid �100 + �30 installation for my dads sky plus as he is an existing customer. Sky + is brilliant it's revolutionised my TV viewing, I get to see all the good things when I want to, so I watch better quality TV. Also I finish work some nights at 9.20 p.m and if there's a 9pm 3 part drama on, my friends have to wait until 10 or later when the video finishes recording to watch it, whereas I can get home, rewind it live, watch it, fast forward through the adverts, and catch up with the actual show in real time. It's far easier than trying to find a video tape with space on, which was usually a problem in our house.
