Sky Plus is amazing!
Forget that - what about the fabulous 'Sky Plus' - it's amazing! You can record two different programmes at the one time, tape one while watching another you've taped earlier, pause live tv and catch up when you feel like it, rewind live tv - I bet this has cheered up the technophobes no end. We used to have a fight every time a programme hadn't recorded properly, no more problems.

I'd recommend it to anyone.

Sky plus is just the greatest.

For those who don't have sky, there are now boxes that do the same thing for terrestrial TV.

I really can't imagine living without it now.

Its the Slingbox for me - allows you to watch your home TV away from home (how sad is that)

Surely the internet is better

Just think, if we didn't have internet we'd all have to go out and find a hobby and actually talk to people face to face

In my opinion the greatest invention since the remote is the sat-nav.
It has saved me hundreds of pounds while traveling around GB.
saved me money by identifying speed traps and with the pressing of a couple of buttons it can send you to the nearest petrol station, bank, toilet or even a supermarket, but alas it does not include Mercadona!! yet!
But, due to popular demand in Tenerife! watch this space!!
