    Okay this should be the right place for this.

    People in the uk should know what this is and for those that dont
    Bascially this allows you to pause live tv normal tv forward it rewind it etc.It also lets you record programmes and what not.
    So who has sky plus and what do you think about it? any bad points good points?

    Also people all over the world do you have something like this to?

    There is a French version of this, but I forget what it's called.
    There are pleanty of American versions, and pleanty of German versions too.

    They have all worked well for me.

    Most of my family lives in Manchester, and my cousin has Sky HD with the DVR. It's nice to visit and watch ball when I go home.

    edit-
    and the little reciever is awesome, it's like an xbox 360. haha.

    The American one is TiVo I think.
    And yea i've had sky plus for a year or two now, I dunno how I could live without it. It's absolutely amazing. I forget how to use a VCR now..and shiver at the thought of watching a tape...

    Well with DVR it's on the go - so you can pause the tele live, and then rewind to a certain point, or record the whole thing and rewatch it later.

    The box he has is like a gaint button in the centre and on the right a bunch of buttons then something on the left.
