Review of Infinity Plus One - Keith Brooke & Nick Gevers

The Wii Fit Plus is an excellent add on, and great fun!

Advantages: fun, good for you, multiplayer
Disadvantages: none really

...The wii fit has been keeping me happy for quite a while now, but eventually when you have played and tried all the games within it eventually it gets left in a box behind the sofa, for 72 days according to my wii fit. So when i saw the Wii Fit plus was for sale I pre ordered it straight away, it gives a much needed new enjoyable boost into the what was already great wii fit. There are many extra fun things to do whilst getting fit with the Wii Fit Plus in my opinion. One of the great things is that it transfers all of your data from the wii fit easily and quickly in one click. You can now weigh your babies and pets on this. There are three new yoga moves - Spine extension, gate and grounded V. Three new Muscle workouts - Balance bridge, Side lunge and Single leg reach. However there are two new sections which I find great these are...

Review of Wii Fit Plus (Wii)

Sky Plus is a Plus

Advantages: Record, rewind, series link
Disadvantages: Expensive, bad customer service

...If you love TV then you probably love your Sky + box and if you haven't already got one you really really need to get one. For me this box is definitely a Plus with one little Minus but I will get to that later. Sky + is a personal video recorder that allows the user to record, pause and instantly rewind live TV. It works in conjunction with a Sky television subscription. It was launched in September 2001 and in February 2008 Sky announced that over 3 million households now have a Sky + box. Sky + is such a benefit to have. You access all the features of the recorder through your Sky + remote. Recording - Sky + allows you to record any programme that you like. It is very simple to do. You do not have to set any timers or set up any video tapes, etc, the show is saved as hardware on the Sky box. Basically you search through...

Review of Sky + (Plus)

Reach for the Sky ( Plus of course)

Advantages: We watch what we want when we want
Disadvantages: None for me

... SKY PLUS Move over sliced bread, there's a new kid on the block! From now on I will describe things that are good,as the best thing since Sky Plus! I'm of an age to have been around for the first of the Ferguson video players (as so wonderfully described by the brilliant Peter Kay). There was no remote control- you had to walk over to the machine to do all the recordings, and the amount of times we settled down to watch a film my better (?!?) half had recorded only to find a recording of something completely different. My goodness didn't we think we were something, with our mock leather video covers that held recordings of Corrie and the likes! But know videos and video recorders are a thing of the past and will soon be appearing on the Antiques Roadshow. The advent of recording onto DVD seemed to...

Review of Sky + (Plus)

Sky+ .. a big plus!

Advantages: Record programmes, pause & rewind live tv!
Disadvantages: A few glitches here and there!

...I recently decided to get Sky+ installed, after hearing from many of my friends just how good it was. At first I wasn't really fussed on it due to the cost involved, however I'd heard that there was a way of getting it for free. I had read on many internet forums that people had been phoning up Sky to cancel their subscription, and in return, Sky were offering their Sky+ system completely free to tempt them to stay. So I decided to try it, and low and behold it worked! I had Sky+ installed a few weeks ago, and I was even given a 80Gb box as opposed to a standard 40Gb one, which was an extra bonus on top. Sky+ has many features, but the purpose of the Sky+ box is to give you the ability to record your favourite Sky programmes. It's actually possible to record 2 programmes simultaneously, although Sky must be tuned into one of these...

Sky Plus

Advantages: Too many to mention
Disadvantages: I don't know, not as yet.

...Last year I visited a member of the family and while sitting in their front room chatting, I noticed their rather large TV to which I made a comment. However the reply I got was not so much about the TV, but the Sky plus box underneath. They raved about it," Got to get one". I thought big deal, so it records TV; I've got a VCR at home does the same thing. Until I rang Sky about renewing my contract some months ago and they offered me Sky plus at a reduced rate, to which I took. Installation came round quite quick, in a matter of weeks. Although I had the old system, he still put in a new dish and wiring with the minumum of fuss. One of the things did noticed was that as it raining outside, the engineer put on these plastic covers over his shoes so as not to cause any mess on my flooring. Well, we've had this Sky plus for a few...

Review of Sky + (Plus)

This Service is a Definite Plus

Advantages: record two programmes at a time, stores days of programming, rewind and pause live TV
Disadvantages: requires subscription of a premium package as well as a sub for the sky plus service.

...and our box had not answered, and that if we did not call to let them know it was again connected, we would be charged for a second account. We simply plugged the line back in, rang the number, and 10 minutes later were assured that within the next few days they would resend the test signal. They must have done so, as we were never charged and have received no further letters of this sort. ~~How we Like Sky+~~~ We do not watch sports, but do have the movies and family package, including Disney. My hubby works away all week, so misses a lot of shows he wants to see. Occasionally there is a programme I also wish to see, and it is on at the same time as one he would have had me record on video. I was immensely satisfied at what a breeze this made recording! I simply go to the onscreen programming guide, highlight the programme I wish to...

Review of Sky + (Plus)

On The Plus Side

Advantages: cheap, smells great, nice presentation case
Disadvantages: some men may prefer something more masculine

...I was bought Diesel Zero Plus Masculine for Christmas last year. The Price Although this was bought, I had a quick look around and have found out that a 75ml bottle, it will set you back only £10 which is extremely reasonable considering most aftershaves are around £30. The Packaging Diesel Zero Plus Masculine comes with really unique, eye catching packaging. It has a perspex dome which sits on the base. The base then has two raised plastic sections, which allows the bottle to the wedged in place. There is a clamp on the spray section at the top to stop the bottle being sprayed accidentally which is quite useful to save any wastage. The bottle itself is a bright red colour, with a silver top. Diesel is written in big silver letters on the front of the bottle along with the usual info such as size etc. The Smell This...

Review of Diesel Zero Plus Eau De Toilette Spray for Him

Sky Plus deserves an A+

Advantages: pause and rewind live tv, record with just 1 button, user friendly
Disadvantages: can't think of any

...Sky plus is definitely worth the extra money, it makes life so much more simple. Use the sky plus planner to record your favourite programmes by only pressing one single buttton, and select series link to set that programme to recore every single time its on, meaning that you will never miss a single episode! The planner also arranges your recordings by date, so you'll have no trouble finding what you want. The fantastic recording system also means that you can pause and rewind live TV to replay your favourite part again and again. Sky plus also allows you to 'viewer define' your recordings, meaning that you can select the exact moment you wish to watch a recording from so there's is no waiting whilst you take time to find the place your looking for. If all that's not enough then how about this- you can even record two different channels...

Review of Sky + (Plus)

Sky plus good quality product

Advantages: saves you loads of time
Disadvantages: you have to pay initially

...My question is, in this techno advanced world where we seem to have more to do and even less time on our hands who can live without a sky plus box? Certainly no parent I know! You may think you can but that's just because you haven't got one - trust me! Basically you can record any channel you have access to at any time as long as you only record 2 things maximum at the same time that are on different channels. If you do this however be aware you will not be able to view another channel but you can view something you have previously recorded. This is stored in your planner, this is basically your hard drive which contains all your recordings you can manage them out of here and protect them from deletion and watch at your leisure. My typical day is jam packed up until 8 ish so at this point sky plus comes into its own. I watch...
