"Other listings magazines are available" as they often point out
on BBC :-)

I was in the process of thinking about getting SKY+.

We have all the movies so the subscription would cost me anything but I
dont
often get to see a movie as we are using the box for something else on SKY.
The ability to record from two channels would make it far easier to record
a
few movies and programs on other SKY channels that clash.

I DONT plan to get Multiroom as I dont want to pay out any more money to Mr
Murdock but might get a FreeSat card for the existing box which would then
give me BBC3/4 CBBC/CBeebies etc plus the Radio station.

I already have three Freeview boxes which can give me those channels but
Freeview reception here is pretty dire.

Having said all that I am now unsure whether to change to SKY+ given the
comments about the User Interface. Since having TiVo, there have only been
a
couple of occasions when we have missed things that we wanted to see and it
is definately a very SWMBO/SPROG friendly interface. (Perhaps that's why MY
programs get missed in preference to other household members!)

Regards

Keith
