Review List

    Customer Reviews, 2008

    "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

    Customer Reviews, 2008

    "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+.'"

  • Michael, Keighley

    Customer Reviews, 2008

    "Sky+ has become as important to me as my phone or car. The fact that I can watch all my favourite shows when I choose is great!

    Travelling to the States a lot also means there have been quite a few times when the Remote Record feature has been very convenient. I mean, setting a recording in Bradford while on Clearwater Beach, Florida - can it get any better?

    Well done Sky, I do 'Believe in better' and think I have found it!"

  • James, Aldershot

    Customer Reviews, 2008

    "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don't have Sky+ and who are still struggling with video recorders, I find myself wondering why anyone would use that outdated technology when something as good as Sky+ is available."

    "It's changed the way I watch TV completely...It's so easy to understand - that's the genius about it"

    "I don't know about you, but I rarely leave my evening viewing to chance or to programmers any more. It's planned and recorded in advance."

  • The Independent, 25 November 07

    "No more scrambling for blank video tapes, the hard disk in Sky+ works with the in-built programme guide; highlight the programme press the record button and you're done. Plus, if the phone rings while you're watching live TV, you can press pause and come back to it when you're ready."

    "Occasionally a gadget comes along that makes such a difference to the way you live your life that you wonder what you ever did without it. The Sky+ personal video recorder is a perfect example of this."

  • The Evening Standard, 20 September 07

    Evening Standard

    "The Sky+ personal video recorder (PVR) is the best TV gadget around, and is now available to Sky subscribers without the need to pay an extra monthly fee...it is incredibly easy to use. Uniquely, you can programme it while you'e on holiday, either on the web or by sending a text message."

    "The original and still the best...a brilliant array of features such as series link, Anytime TV and remote recording"
