Sky+ HD or Humax 1000s PVR?
I'm looking at losing the subscription to Sky but I still need to be able to record.
My question is, do I drop down to the Sky+ with recording for £10/month but with no initial outlay or opt for the Humax but only see a return after 20 months? Of course in 2 years the tech may have moved on so I may need to consider what the next step is then, Thanks, |

I thought I read somewhere it's no longer an option. |

Humax every time , I dropped sky 18 months ago after reading about Humax on DS and I can honestly state its one of the best decisions I made and my pocket isn't being picked dry by Sky.

Just done exactly this - dumped Sky and got a Humax Freetime box which is a fantastic bit of kit.
Don't miss Sky at all and, with what I'm saving in subscriptions, I will recoup its cost in less than seven months ![]() Plus if you register your new purchase with Humax you get a two year guarantee. |

Thanks for the replies,
The only fly in the ointment is losing the football on Sky sports and BT. I can connect an XBox to use Sky Go but it will have to be "live" which is a bit of a poo. |

Looking at some reviews of the Humax it mentions "issues" with resuming play.
Can anyone confirm that, like the Sky+ box, you can stop a prog in the middle, watch something else and resume the 1st prog from the point it was stopped? |

Can confirm "Resume" works on my 1000S - in the various menu options there is "resume" or "start from beginning".
Not had any problems yet with resuming playback on recordings. |

I take BB from BT to get free Bt sports,but it is not really comparable to the full Sky sports family Surely you can only watch Sky via the Xbox live service as long as you subscribe to both Xbox live AND Sky ? |
