Sky+ Reviews

Daily Express

"Sky+ is... the quintessential hard disc-recording device. Absolute genius."

Christine, Southampton

"Sky+ is just amazingly simple to use. No more video tapes or trying to find the show you want to watch but are not sure which tape to look at. Series linking a show so that you don't miss an episode when you are away on holiday, you are safe in the knowledge that your favourite show will record for you and store in date order."

Eddie, Reading

"I've had Sky+ since just after it came out and have now upgraded to the new Sky+HD. Getting on a bit now (early 50s), so I remember how difficult it could be setting the old VCR. Having Sky+HD has made recording TV child's play. I say, 'Forget the fuss - use Sky+.'"

James, Aldershot

"Quite simply it is one of the best things I have ever bought. When I go to other people's houses who don't have Sky+ and who are still struggling with video recorders, I find myself wondering why anyone would use that outdated technology when something as good as Sky+ is available."
