Advantages: You can record, delete, fast forward....

Disadvantages: Not enough memory

For years we had Sky in our house, at one point we had multiroom so had 2 boxes. It was good - plenty of channels to search through and still not find anything to watch! But there was always a problem - we couldn't record programmes and we couldn't watch everything we wanted to watch. Plus the adverts! They drive you insane and there was no way to avoid them.

Then we discovered Sky Plus and our lives haven't been the same since! We can record two programmes at once, fast forward through the adverts, pause live TV...it has saved our marriage!! Now when my husband decides he wants to watch the football I can record Eastenders and Coronation Street and just watch them later. I don't have to remember what programmes are on when becuase the series link function means I just set the clever little box to record the whole series of something.

The only downside is the amount of memory in the box - i.e. not enough. We find we run out of memory fairly quickly and have to delete things - is that becuase we watch too much television or becuase they should put more memory in the box? Who knows.

All I do know is this was the best thing that happened in our house in a longtime and saved me from being a football widow.

Summary: Not sure what I'd do if I ever lost it - definitely a must have.
