I should also point out that if you are recording two programs, you

If you're recording two programmes you can watch, live pause and live
rewind either of those two programmes.

yeah, I just thought of that. Sorry, asleep at the keyboard. What I
think
I meant to say was that you cannot watch (and therefore pause) a third
program. (Although since DR has been pushed people here have actually
complained about that - They're never happy)

I for one complained mainly only the fuss of DR..One would assume recording
a programme was because you was unable to view it (out or watching another
channel)

DR has left us with the ability to record to two channels but taken away
watching the channel we're watching (should a DR time come up whilst
watching another)

It just as annoying as when we got the recording clash with single record.

Now *Dogless record* would be better,*Advertless record* better still :-)


Watch your subs soar.....err even higher ;-)

Sky charging a fortune for the box/subscription,Meanwhile companies actually
give PC's away FREE if you promise to allow advertising on it...


Have you tried one of these.....from the comments I've heard, they are
a pain in the backside...plus thery monitor everything you do

Mmm £800 PC FREE with Ads or Sky+ costing price of Sky+ plus monthly sub
and adverts and red dots everywhere (Shows who the Scam merchants are)

Who knows, give it another few years and Sky will be free if you promise to
watch those annoying dross programme things in between those fantastic
adverts :-/

lol

Of course you can watch a third programme if you are recording two other
programmes. You still have your terrestrial stations to choose from. Many
people have forgotten about this facility. Hope this helps,

You're assuming I have an arial (I do, but it's connected to the stereo).

Actually, I guess that would allow me to watch 'something' while I'm waiting
for the SKY techie to come fix my sky+ box :')
