I really don't know how we survived pre sky plus! We already had sky but decided to look into sky plus as our DVD recorder had broken down. My husband had nagged and nagged me for so long wanting a sky plus box, but I couldn't see the point as we already had a perfectly good DVD recorder. Therefore when the DVD recorder broke down I never heard ...  Read the complete review

I love sky plus. It is not cheap (around £40 per month) but if you like television then really it is a must. Really one does not get an amazing amount of extra value in terms of channels and programmes (I still find myself with nothing good to watch sometimes) but the recording functionality is fantastically useful and easy to use. By series ...  Read the complete review

The usual on-screen Sky TV guide has the option to press record for up to 40 hours ...  Read the complete review

I have just got Sky and Sky plus after never having a digital recorder, and having been used to Virgin for the past 4 years. I can say that Sky plus isa great invention and I wish I'd got it sooner. The first thing I like about sky as opposed to Virgin, is the TV channels on the basic package are better and there is a lot more choice, ...  Read the complete review

How did I every manage without this! Sky + has changed my viewing habits. Given a choice of whether to watch a channel with commercial breaks or not I watch the one without breaks and Sky + the one with. That way when watching back I simply fast forward at up to 30 times speed through the commericals, this is particularly useful when watchin some ...  Read the complete review

I upgraded to Sky Plus nearly two years ago when there was a special offer when you bought a TV. Whilst I do not want to overexaggerate what an impact this machine has had on my life, I will say that I both got engaged and had Sky Plus installed within ten days and the engagement might have been the most exciting thing to happen out of those two ...  Read the complete review

How ever did I manage before sky+?! It's great - I no longer have to watch stupid 70s cop dramas, sci fi rubbish and boring history things and dear husband no longer has to moan his way through Britain's Next Top Model, Gok Wan and Grey's Anatomy!!! Add to that the fact that we never miss episodes of 3 part series, my little boy can watch Roary, ...  Read the complete review

Have you, like me, ever been watching a gripping whodunnit late at night (when else would I watch one it's the only time I can get control of the remote, when everyone else has gone to bed) the film is comming to the big finale and you're about to find out who really done it when... you wake up to find that you missed the bit you'd been waiting up ...  Read the complete review

Sky Plus is a brilliant invention! Its main selling point is allowing you to record programmes to view later.

Sky+ must be the best TV invention of the past few years - it is excellent! You can get a free Sky+ box when you subscribe and it really is worth it. Packages start from £16.50 a month. We have the £24 package which includes a few extras but not movies or sports. I wouldnt say the movies and sports packages are worth it but then thats ...  Read the complete review
