Advantages: Easy to use, series link option, able to record 2 and watch another programme at the same time

Disadvantages: Quite expensive ontop of Sky which is expensive enough

Sometimes I sit and wonder how I lived without my Sky + box! It is one of life's luxuries that rapidly becomes a necessity.

My husband and I finally succumbed to Sky 3 years ago when I was pregnant with our first daughter and on bed rest. The lack of decent programmes on terrestrial drove us to get it as I really couldn't cope with hours of repeats each day. Little did we know how our lives would change.

The introduction of Sky itself is a revelation, so much TV and so little time, I spent the first few days just looking at the TV guide. After a while you realise that whilst there are lots of channels about 3/4 of them are showing rubbish and the other quarter show quality programmes worth watching.

My husband and I are both sport fanatics and the ability to pause and rewind programmes is a fantastic feature. We have never missed the start of a football match and are able to review key moments as many times as we like. Another great feature is that we can record 2 programmes whilst watching something off the planner at the same time, fantastic!! When recording a programme that is part of a series the series repeat option is a great option, never again will I miss an episode of Home & Away, Neighbours, Hollyoaks, whoops think I should stop now I know these aren't the coolest programmes to watch!!

I cant remember a time when our planner had more than approx 15% left, we rarely watch things live on TV but watch all the programmes we have recorded. This also allows both of us to record our own programmes without relying on the other one to set the recording up.

Once you have children you really find out the beauty of the Sky+ box. You are able to record your child's favourite programmes without having to set them up each time. This ensures that you always have their favourite programme to pacify even the biggest tantrum!!

My Sky+ box is one of the family and a luxury that despite the recession I will fight to keep!

Summary: You'll wonder how you lived without it
