    Nice

    I have NTL and all I ever watch is The SImpsons on Sky One so it'd be a bit of a waste to buy a full channel package with Sky

    Had Sky + for about 9 months now, and apart from the hard disk failing at one point, it's been great....

    I just sit down once a week and record everything I want to watch over the next seven days, then I never have to say 'there's nothing on' ever again....

    Loads better, it was a real shame that they pulled out of the UK. I have Sky+ and apart from a few niggles I'm pleased, just wish it had some of the functions that a hacked Tivo could provide.

    Thats the trouble, often you go with the market leader rather than the technology leader
