Sky+
« on: January 07, 2004, 17:52 »
:hi:

I recently bought Sky+ after seeing this thread on another forum on how to get it cheaper.  Waiting for installation in Feb.

My question is has anyone already got it or got an opinion on Sky+.  Some people I know say its changed their lives - I think thats going a bit too far :P but heard that its a clever bit of kit.

So then own up - whos already got Sky+ ?

Isnt it expensive for what you get ?
A friend had it on a trial last year and he loved it.
When the trial finished they wanted about £300 for the box plus another tenner a month on top of his subscription if I remember correctly  :(
If I could afford it I would get one of those Kiss dvd players with ethernet that I was recommending to Clive and get another sat box connected to my pc and use that instead then it would do the same as sky plus and a dvd recorder and so much more  :)

The link above shows you how to get a 'refurbished' box for £99 + £1 installation (includes 1 year warranty).  But when I ordered was told that the refurbished boxes had run out so they will give you a brand new box intead! Been told offer runs out Jan 16th.

You only need to pay £10 extra a month if you don't subscribe to a top sky package - we already do so total cost of only £100, instead of £249 as its advertised (£199 for box £50 for installation).

Bargain I say! Can't wait to try it out.  ;D

Is it possible to export programmes you have recorded on a Sky+ box?

Only via the analogue outputs to an external DVD/HDD recorder, Gill.
