Advantages: Plenty of recording space Disadvantages: Recording ability not available for free
For a long time I refused to get Sky+ because I said we'd never use it. After giving in to pressure and having it installed I cant believe we ever managed without it. There are very few programmes I watch 'live' anymore.
The Sky + box comes with a hard drive that will store approximately 40 hours of TV, which is more than enough for most people, you would need to be an exteme TV watcher to fill the drive, or be the type of person who saves programmes to watch over again.
The best feature of the Sky+ is the ability to pause live TV, very handy if the phone rings or someone comes to the door. You can also rewind live TV, so if you miss what someone has said you can rewind to hear it again.
The Sky+ box has parental controls, so all adult channels can be blocked and a PIN number can be set so children cant watch films that are too ...

Advantages: Series link Disadvantages: Not enough memory
First of all I would like to clarify that I am not a TV addict however I couldn't live without my sky plus box. It has become an everyday essential to my family & I & is in constant use in our household. It's the best thing since sliced bread!
I personally love sky+ & don't think I've come across anyone who doesn't. It's easy to use, practical & fast. I haven't encountered any problems with the box so far however when I had an issue with my bill I phoned the sky+ helpline at 1am & they were happy to help giving friendly efficient advice & immediately solved the problem. I have nothing but praise for sky & would recommend it to anyone. It can be a bit expensive but for all the services it offers I think it is definitely worth paying a bit more & knocks all of the competition straight out of the park.
I have had sky for years now ...

Advantages: Easy Disadvantages: Can be noisey (Anytime Tv updating)
once and it worked fine, but I don't like my planner being crowded by reminders and future records so I don't really use it.
*****Anytime TV*****
When I first got Sky+ I was thinking about turning off the Anytime TV option (can be done by going through the settings menu). Afterall I knew what I wanted to watch and would just record it if I had to. However, I decided not to turn it off and was pleasantly surprised. There is quite a variety of good shows put on here each week that I would have missed. The downpoint to Anytime TV is that when it's updating (downloading the shows to your box) it can be a little noisey. I'm not that bothered by it, but ti could annoy some people.
*****Layout/Looks*****
Personally I don't really like the look of the box on the outside. It's quite plain and doesn't have anything that stands out ...
