I have had sky+ for several months. For the first couple of months I subscribed to the movie channels but, mindful of the expense, I eventually cancelled them, having saved some twenty films in my planner. However, BE WARNED! When Sky Movies was removed from my Sky package I tried to view the movies I had saved and they were blocked. I was none too pleased as I consider I paid for them and, having saved them I was entitled to view them at a chosen time. I wrote to Sky about the unfairness of this but have had no comment from ...  Read the complete review

Around two years ago when I started seeing the adverts for Sky + - an updated Sky Digital box that could pause and rewind live TV, record up to 20 hours of programmes onto hard drive at broadcast quality (no more videos) and record one Sky channel whilst watching another - I thought, ?this is for me?. Countless times there was conflict in the house when my father was watching a Premiership match or the end of a golf tournament on Sky Sports, whilst I wanted to watch classic comedy on UK Gold or my mother wanted to see a documentary about spiders, both her phobia and fascination. There were other ...  Read the complete review

SKY TV is considered to be an Evil corporation, destroying the proud broadcasting morals and traditions established by the good old BBC over fifty years ago. To a certain extent this is true, but British television was falling behind many other countries by the 1980s, and someone had to drag it into the 21st century.

In many respects, SKY TV is similar to a drug dealer ? get the punters hooked with cheap equipment, then ...  Read the complete review

So Is Sky+ up to the hype?? Is it Value Are we being ripped off?? I have had Sky plus for about 6 months & have had a few problems & am not totally satisfied with thier customer service. The instalation engineers are a bit slow, suggesting that they would like to use blue tooth but it was a very expensive cable!!!!!!! It is however a amazing system, no other system can you pause live tv record at the same time as doing this. Now you can rewind the tv you have been watching without previously recording it. It is something that I would now find very hard to live without, as it makes life so much easier. So yes it is the hype but with a few flaws. The ...  Read the complete review

I was just about to purchase a Sky+ box having used my friends Sky+ unit for a couple of months. I am now starting to wonder about the wisdom of buying the +box when it appears my friend has had little joy in getting sky to fix or replace his +box since it started playing up not long after he purchased it. It is possible that the faults his box appear to have could be isolated to his unit and it would be interesting to see if any other users are experiencing similar problems. Hopefully his will be fixed or replaced soon however he is obviously annoyed that he has lost many recorded programs not to mention the expense in money and time phoning sky, ...  Read the complete review
