Sky+ question
 

With Sky dropping their £10/month charge, I'm seriously thinking about
taking the plunge. But I have 1 question:

If I watch a programme (not BO) that's been recorded, is it then deleted
automatically, or can I watch it again and again until I choose to delete
it?

TIA

You can view what you have recorded as often as you want, there are
various settings and buttons to set up the system to work the way YOU
want it.

You can setup the box to warn you of low disc space or to delete programs
to make way for new recordings.

If you do record a program you really like the thing to do is transfer it to
video or dvd so you then can have more space on the drive for new programs.

That depends.... If your only on the £18,00 p.m package then the Sky+ fee
has NOT been dropped!
Looks like Jom needs to update the FAQ?? ;-)

Yes,You can set Sky+ to *keep* the recording until your ready to tranfer it
to tape (Remember all Sky+ is a TEMP storage and will fill up no matter how
the HD!)

I think you can view PPV over and over (though you can't *keep* these
recordings or record them to tape/DVD recorder)

All I've really noticed with Sky+ is your adding another chain to the
recording process,So recording twice for those programmes you want to keep
(Record from Tuner inc' the Adverts,Watch recording (skipping the ads) to
Tape or disc)
