Re: [OT] Is Sky + as crap as I think it is ?



It's slightly worse than that. As you may have noticed, not all series have
the series
link available. There's no intelligence in the sky+ box, so it has to be
set up in the
broadcast information. Also, friends with sky+ tell me that their series
links sometimes
disappear mid-season for no apparent reason.
