is sky+ worth �159?

[currob]

I am considering upgrading to sky+ as my standard box is failing. It will cost me �65 to replace my standard box but for an extra �94 i could get sky+ which i don't know a lot about. Is sky+ worth the extra dosh?

[ACtheTROLL]

in a word

YES!

[TEAK36]

100% Yes, I only upgraded to Sky + last week and I love it.I have gone from someone who never records anything, to someone who records stuff almost every day.

The live pause is a godsend as I have 2 small kids who have me running up and down the stairs in the eveining, and I just pause what I am watching.

yeah really good worth it ....we got all ours free as we never had sky and they done recommend a friend offer.that some one gave us

Do it, do it, do it. You won't regret it. You'll wonder hoe you ever lived without. Pausing and rewinding live tv is worth it on its own, without even considering the benefits of recording!

As someone who doesn't have sky (but has had, and cable) I would say it all depends on how much telly and what you want to watch. I now have a freeview box which does much of what a sky plus box does (record from 2 while watching a recording, time shift, massive hard drive, epg) and I am well happy. All for just a bit more than what you said, and no monthly costs.

It is a wonderful invention, however, what they need to invent, is a way of getting your offspring to skyplus what you ask them to skyplus , as yet this is one aspect of this wonderous contraption that is failing me consistently

[currob]

well, thanks a lot for the answers, i'll go for the sky+ option.

What i cant figure with sky plus is, when you record a series of programmes how does the box know whether the programme is on daily or weekly?

Contact me @ [email protected] and I will tell you how I got Sky+ for free. There's nothing in it for me. I was given the same advice and it worked.
