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. |
How long have you been with Sky, if you try to cancel you'll get a free one out of them
|
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. |
have not got sky at the moment..

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
|
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

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. |
I wouldnt be without it now!

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.
|
Thumbs up from me aswell. :thumb:
|
me to got sky+ with multiroom and the new boxes that allow anytime tv brilliant
|
I've got sky+ in two rooms and a normal one in another,pay about £70 a month but couldn't live without it.
|
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 :D
|
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 :D
|
does the sky+ box come in black or just silver ??
|
Mine is white.

Oh and my Sky+ box is about 5 years old now and i`ve not had any trouble with it what so ever. 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 :lol1: |
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! :( :( |
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!)
|
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 ? |
i got mine of the missus for a birthday present so she could record lost. How I laughed when she realised the current series had finished! :lol1:
