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 but before that I just had another digital service. Switching to sky was definitely the best decision. With sky+ you can record 2 programmes at a time although the down side to this is that you do have to be watching one of them or watching something on the planner but hey you can't have everything! It enables you to pause & rewind live TV just incase you missed something or the phone rings at the most inappropriate time. The sky+ planner is extremely simple to use & I would challenge anyone who says it isn't. I recently introduced my 81 year old Nan to sky plus & she isn't the most technical person but within half an hour she had got to grips with it & says it's a god send for her. It lets you put a series link on programmes you either want to remind yourself are on or want to record simply by pressing the green button when the certain series is highlighted, this is definitely one of the best features of sky+ as it means you will never miss an episode. It enables you to lock programmes into the planner to prevent them from being deleted & has excellent parents protection systems as it requires a pin code to watch any movies of a 12 rating or higher.
