SKY Starter

Advantages: Great quality
Disadvantages: Possibly that it took a while to set it up?

...This is the best electronic item i've ever bought! Well, its the best tele i have bought. FOr starters, its great for gaming as it has a great response time and no 'lag' like some other tele's do. I've seen it cheaper in a lot of shops especially like curry's. It is a great size, not too big, nor small and fits perfectly in my lounge. I have also recently aquired sky HD and it is truly brilliant with this tele!! The definition of the programmes and sky sports is amazing. There is no lag for normal tele either (which i wouldn't usually expect anyway).. If you need a television for your home, this is the best you can buy, especially as a Sony. Excellent and well worth the money.... Read review

Advantages: Sky Anytime, Plus rewide live TV, Record your own stuff
Disadvantages: Space Filled up quite easy, Sky Anytime should use 40GB of space not 80GB

...The Thomson PVR3 (Thomson 127K148) Is one of the Sky Plus Boxes which Retails from £99 - £199 + £30 Installation. the price depends on howlong you been with Sky, Your subcription etc The Thomson Sky Plus is widly used today. The Box comes Fitted with a 160GB Harddrive which enables you to recorded up to 80 - 120 Hours of TV. The problem is that sky has Locked the Other 80GB for Future services. So on Average you can get around 40 - 60 Hours of TV on your box. The Box is Bright White and has a LCD Type clock which Turns on if you are recording a Programme, Warching a recorded Progamme etc. The Box can also store up to 90 Minutes of TV so you can rewide or Pause Live TV if you want to or if something Happens.

Advantages: hd tv is brilliant
Disadvantages: long winded copy facility

...i have two of these. one in the bedroom and one in the living room. the fact i have two tells you what i think. they are great. they give the you the most from your hd tv. this unit also allows for a larger amount of recording space. the unit also has the advantage of numerous connections on th rear. also with the sky subscription you have the ability to use sky anytime which is great and allows you to watch other films programmes that are stored on another part of the hard drive weaknesses are that sometimes the stored programmes lose the odd word from the sound. also they can get hot, but i think that is because it is used a lot. finally i wish there was an easier way to save your archived programmes, come on sky make it easier....
