Sky+ HD box, and is it any good?

In this day and age when money is tight and we are all being screwed to the floorboards financially speaking, itd be nice to find something that worked out well for us wouldnt it? Unfortunately this ISNT your man!! You, on top of purchasing the box in the first place for an astronomical amount of money, THEN have to pay bl@@dy sky to be able to use it. If youre not registered with them, tied up by the short and curlies on one of their minimum contracts, paying them a fortune each month for repeated films, documentaries and other such rubbish, you will have to pay the nearlly £10 per month for the rest of time, to USE the bl@@dy thing. (To record on it, I mean) Your choice, but if I was you Id forget it... Unless youre already paying them a fortune every month, then if youre going to use it a lot, Maybe its worth a little effort. But if youre strapped for cash as most of us are, Id say it was a total waste. You can use the lazymans way, by pressing the "auto view and the green arrow on your viewing planner" record a series on your faithful old video recorder... something that still features in a majority of households these days!!
