Grr, every f*cking time, she goes out, I sort the kids out, then decide to watch telly and she is recording two things, "V" the series and Midsommer Murders, which one to cancel, or both !

I often wondered who watch sh1te like Modsommer Murders, now I know.

mamoon2

I get the same thing with random reality nonsense. Cancel the one you hate the most, thats what I do

Will

I get it too. The joke is she wont watch half the ****e she records!!!!! Tart

Hysteria1983

Get a v+ box. Problem solved.

If that happens to me I usually see if one of the things she's recording has a +1 channel

Lydia72

In our house it's Top Gear, OH will set to record and then clear off to work. I know for a fact he's seen every episode six hundred times anyway but he records them just in case, then it will be some random thing off the Hitler channel to clash with it.

Can you record unlimited things with a V+ box then?

michaelro

Annoying, but I find that's a good time to watch something you've recorded yourself and probably wouldn't have got round to watching normally

Leslie

We record something for one of us and whatever else for the other.

I wouldn't worry about it though since she seems to give you lots of sex...

...just put up with it

spray1974

Cancel both I do it regular and blame sky saying it must be a fault with the equipment

Hysteria1983

No, but you can record 2 chanels and still watch a third.
Or record two and watch something previously recorded.
Or set something to record and then watch that program while it records. ( you might be able to do the latter with sky?)

Plus the on demand feature is excellent, but that is simy my personal opinion.

Leslie

Yes Sky will do that as well. The sort of thing you used to wish for in the old days!

Sky will let you record 2 and watch a recording or anytime TV

Don't really know what on demand is, but I can only assume its like anytime tv
Another really neat feature of sky is remote recording.
I've used that a few times when I've been away from home.

Ant

I love remote recording especially with the iPhone app.my missis is a diamond if two programs are clashed I've set up she'll watch one of them

urban

iTrader: (1)

Thats only because you've trained her to do that
She remembers the beating you gave her the last time she cancelled one of your recording

Ant

you've gave my secret away I can't give beatings anymore now she's up the duff so I now lock her under the stairs

JPL

WTF J4CKO !!!!

Man up, the remote control stays in your toolbox FFS!

Butkus

I think the difference between the Sky box and the V+ box is that Virgin has three tuners instead of two, so you can record two channels and watch live TV at the same time. With Sky you can only record one channel while watching live TV.

Our sky + box is full of relocation relocation relocation and holby.... bloody nightmare..I have to perform a "cull" of stuff just to record the GP

MMT WRX

Same thing here. Comes to watch the F1 qualifying Saturday and its not recorded...cos the hard drives full of sh1te..goc, Dr who, casualfukcingty. So I had a 'cull', I wasn't popular afterwards but I felt loads better.

Hysteria1983

Unfortunatly my v + is full of blues clues!!!!!!!!

About 1/3 of it is corrupted, but if I format the drive, I will have no blues clues..... or sanity!

Lol, have been busy recently, with the Sky thing and last night her being out she asked me to walk up and walk back with her, got there at 11 and she decided to stay a while, returning at 12 in her mates car, she was worried I would be grumpy, I wasnt really but her mate had suggested a BJ as compensation, would have been great but I was half asleep and had already "taken care of business"

Hysteria1983

So with the 'business' taken care of, did she manage to provide you with ample compensation?

I'd hate to think she had to go to too much trouble.

No, have one in the bank, plus no kids tommorow night and we are going to a party at about 8, so.... plenty of time.

Anyway, too much trouble, some days I cough up furballs

I had the same trouble too. It never worked right, you know, start stop, start stop, it was forever doing the wrong thing. The kids couldnt get on with it either. It never did what they wanted it to. All these appliances only last a few years before they conk out. So one day I thought sod it. I unplugged it and just walked away. The kids are happy now and sky+ works a treat and never fails to record the right programme..

Jamz3k

I ****ing hate Sky+, I am watching Michael Buble on UTV for the second time in a week because of Sky+.

I can't work out what i hate more to be honest Sky+ or Buble.

Will

You should be ashamed of your self

michaelro

Same here, My Cull includes her programmes or Peppa Pig etc.
Mine always seem to avoid being deleted (Plus I've Added the Keep Function for added accidental deletion provention!!)
