We've had a Sky+ box for best part of a year now, we are not huge TV watchers, but it has totally changed the way we watch the box.

Every few days we have a flick through the Sky on screen guide, tag the programmes we want to watch, press the one record button and that's it. You have always got some viewing when you want it... and if you are watching something live and the phone goes, you live pause the programme and start it up again when you are ready. Also, the series link, wonderful, set it on a programme and it will record all future episodes.

It's bl**dy excellent and I got all the gizmo's so am not easily impressed..!

A job for the new year is to see if I can hook up a DVD recorder to the Sky+ box so I can write disks of stuff I want to long term store, as the current Sky+ box only holds about 20 hours... which is fine for short term storage buy you don't want to eat up too much of that with long term storage...
