It rocks. So easy to record shows. also If you have a favourite show (or any show) pause it and then start watching 5-10 mins later and you can fast forward thew the ads.
No down side, there are 2 types of people, those with sky+ and those who mess about with NTHell and poxy digi boxes. Believe me, you will wonder how you ever managed without it. Welcome to "self control" TV. Set all your favorite programs to record with series link and watch when you want, never watch another advert, brilliant! Want to go for a pee in the middle of a film? Live pause! Indispensible!
