That's very true.  Non"techie" people have no clue about this
beast.  It's
so badly marketed.  Look at the UK website, it's a disgrace.

Right again.  I would have liked Sky+ too but I just can't stomach giving
Sky another tenner a month, EVERY MONTH for the foreseeable fututre.  AC3
is
no biggy for me.  I haven't watched some DVDs I got in Jan 2001!  Never
mind
watching movies off TV.
