Snazy

Its the nuts mate, series link, any time tv!

So nice to be in control of your tv rather than your tv controlling your life lol.

They charge £10 a month for + yes, but if you have multiroom they wave the fee.

CooperS

How long have you been with Sky, if you try to cancel you'll get a free one out of them

Snazy

lol thats just sneeky

Their BB has been good too, so I might actually drop my BT broadband after all these years, no point wasting good money eh.

For more details about Sky+, and to order, see the Sky+ site (or Sky Ireland).

Hmmm thats wierd, my bill aint gone down. In fact I got a letter the other day putting the overall cost UP not DOWN.

Sky + was £10 if you only subscribed to the basic package, you had to have at least one premium channel Sports or Movies for them waiver the £10

N*UFO

It's good when it works!, I'm on my 4th box in 11 months, the one I have now has been ok so far for 2 months, so hopefully it's a good one, Just as a note When you sign up you get a new Sky+ box, When you have it replaced under guarentee you get a recon unit

Snazy

Not when I signed up it wasnt
They waved it as long as you were on a £15 month or more AND had multiroom.

Will have to check how badly im being ripped off right now.

Its about £65 a month with BB Max and Sky+ in one room, and normal in the other, with the top channel package.

Chip

I wouldnt be without it now!

All Torque

Whats BB Max I take it its broadband from Sky, if it is and your happy with the service that sounds good. I`m paying £54 for Sky+ full package in the living room, with multiroom in one of the kids bedrooms and a magic eye in the others. I`ve also got a magic eye in my bedroom which I got full control of the Sky+ box.

Oh and my Sky+ box is about 5 years old now and i`ve not had any trouble with it what so ever.

Could not live without it, No more adverts to sit through any more, never miss the GP. Had my box about 3 years now it was starting to play up until I swopped the 40 gig drive for a 250 gig last week, now I have 21 hours of recording.

Sky + is almost as good an invention as the tv itself

The £10 used to be dropped when you took out one of the premium channels but I'm pretty sure I read that they recently (few months ago) dropped the £10 charge altogether.

Sky + is the new mobile phone...once you have it you wonder how you survived without it

GaryCat

Yeah I couldn't be witout it now. I was stuck in traffic this morning so used my mobile phone to start the F1 recording... then when I got in I made my self lunch and sat down in front of the race with adverts watched at 30x normal speed

does the sky+ box come in black or just silver ??

GaryCat

Mine is white.

Snazy

Yeah Broadband with Sky. Has seemed ok since I had it installed as a trial to see if its a good option to replace the current provider (BT)
All seems well, so after a long time I will be ditching my BT connection, and sticking with the cheaper Sky. If that falls thru, I always have the broadband for free from Orange also on one of my contracts

My Sky+ box died last night. Had it 3.5 years.
Tried all the usual switching it off, taking out the viewing card etc.
Watching live TV is so restrictive!

Diesel

Dont forget you can get twin tuner Freeview hard disk recorders too (Google Freeview PVR) and there are no subs with this. D (ohh and yes, it is seminal, gadgetry like microwaves and freezers!)

CooperS

waiting until dec when my 12 month contract is up and cancelling so i get a free one out of them, if they won't then stuff them i'll go on virgin

My missus, like with everything was skeptical, nay suspicious of this fangled box, she resisted on cost grounds and the fact 'We watch enough telly anyway', I just went along as wasn't all that bothered, our normal box was conking out and the signal was poor so I double bluffed her and said we may as well cancel, tried to and Sky offerred a plus for 49 quid and no subs, she was srtill skeptical, looking for the cat (what is it with women), it turns up, she ignores it for a week or so and then records something, now a month or two later its the best idea she ever had.

What is it with women, its like introducing new things into the habitat of some timid animal ?
