Community Quote

Though sky can have some good programming, it is outweighed by the amount of repeated programmings over and over again. The only good point with this box is the ability to pause, record, rewind and... more

    Advantages Advantages Able to pause, record, stop and rewind.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Way too many problems

    How many times have you brought an electrical item on a whim and gone about a year later, why the hell did I buy that? Well you'll never will say that with Sky +. This is probably the best thing we as a family, have ever brought. We were always fans of watching TV, I adore American TV dramas, and really struggled on a Thursday to not miss my favourite TV shows, however as soon as we brought Sky +, this was never a problem. The Brand Sky + Sky + (Plus) is a PVR, which stands for a personal video recorder. I was actually shocked to find out, it was actually brought out in 2001, we didn't even ... more

    Advantages Advantages Some Great Interesting Programs...

    Disadvantages Disadvantages -

    ------------ Sky TV ------------- I must say, Sky Television is one of the most successful company's in my eyes, and it's not hard to see why... I thought Television was a little boring when there were just five channels, but then out came the Digi boxes which i noticed before Sky. The Digi box came with more channels than the usual five on the normal Television, so then I thought that the digi box would be the king of Television, but then I was mistaken when I discovered Sky Plus Television.... I thought I would check out what Sky Plus was all about, so i logged on to the Sky Website and ... more

    4 Stars Great, super, smashing, brilliant... but with bugs Diamond review 30/10/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages No more damn adverts, very easy to use, can pause/rewind live TV

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some bugs and if a programme starts late, you might miss the end

    I love Sky+. If I thought I could safely get up onto my roof and shout it proudly to everyone down below without slipping and breaking my neck, then I would. It's fantastic and as much as I hate Sky for the frequent and shameless price hikes, for the constant bombardment of adverts and for having no real competition to keep Rupert Murdoch and the gang in check, I have to say that I am won-over by Sky+. I hardly ever used to watch TV before getting Sky+, because whenever I wanted to watch it, I could rarely find something worth watching. Now, I really am able to create my own channel and watch ... more

    Advantages Advantages Learn how Policemen spend every hour of every day in every county of England, Even Norfolk

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Pobl y Cwm

    When it comes to technology, it is generally accepted by my local community that I'm not very good. I do try, but if I'm using your computer I'll probably break it. If we're talking on the phone I'll probably cut you off and have to lie to you about going through fictional tunnels. Even when we both know I'm using the home phone, and if you ask me to use any of the functions on my mobile phone at any sort of pace, I'll get a bit cross with you. I'm alright with the television though. It's a box of fun with only a few numbers to press to make things happen in front of me. Nice and easy ... more

    4 Stars This WILL change your life! Diamond review Review with images 11/05/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Almost everything!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Cost, apparent software bugs

    The main advertising slogan for Sky+ is “create your own TV channel” – and it really does do what it says on the box! (MOST of the time… read on!). It really will change the way you watch television and, possibly, make you watch more television! Ok, so to start at the beginning… WHAT IS SKY + ? Put simply, it is a satellite receiver which also has a hard disk drive inside that can store up to 20 hours of television programs. You can pause and rewind live TV and set the box to record a whole series of a particular programme automatically. Interested? HOW DO I GET IT? There are two possible ... more
