Patent Distorted - Clearing Autumn Skies

A Nearly Clear Sky

Advantages: Loads to watch
Disadvantages: Repeats, can be expensive

There was a time many years ago when my family would have never entertained the idea of getting any kind of satellite television. Of course that was in the days when out airwaves were free from such crap as reality TV shows and lame saturday night entertainment. About 18 months ago I took up a deal to get a years subscription to OnDigital for about £50, I don't need to tell you what happened to that earlier this year. Anyway in the time we had it, it was enough to convert my parents to new thinking. More TV Channels means more variety and variety is the spice of life. Of course it could've had something to do with the fat that you could get new episodes of Friends before Channel 4. Anyway we put off getting Sky after the On Digital crash purely because we were about to move house. As luck would have it the previous owners were ...

Review of Sky - Sky Digital

Sky +

Advantages: Plenty of recording space
Disadvantages: Recording ability not available for free

For a long time I refused to get Sky+ because I said we'd never use it. After giving in to pressure and having it installed I cant believe we ever managed without it. There are very few programmes I watch 'live' anymore. The Sky + box comes with a hard drive that will store approximately 40 hours of TV, which is more than enough for most people, you would need to be an exteme TV watcher to fill the drive, or be the type of person who saves programmes to watch over again. The best feature of the Sky+ is the ability to pause live TV, very handy if the phone rings or someone comes to the door. You can also rewind live TV, so if you miss what someone has said you can rewind to hear it again. The Sky+ box has parental controls, so all adult channels can be blocked and a PIN number can be set so children cant watch films that are too ...

Review of Sky + (Plus)

Sky+

Advantages: Series link
Disadvantages: Not enough memory

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 ...
