HI,
Have just moved house and decided its about time i upgraded my home system and so am looking at trying to get the best all round system with the least amount of boxes...
I want to be able to record from the TV so a dvd recorder maybe with hard disk is needed, and also a flat screen tv.
My only slight "problem" is i live in spain, so all my British Tv viewing comes thorugh my Pace sky box. I think will need at least 2 sky boxes to enable me to record one channel while watchin an other.
Any body got any ideas on what the best combo would be so i can have a great system, fewer boxes,, at a great price????

Thanks .
Rob

Can you not use SKY+ in Spain?

Im not too sure if i can get sky plus in Spain. Firstly i am trying to get away from increasing my subscription and i believe it costs another ten pounds a month. Also not sure about activating it over here...

Thanks

And do you not think that having two standard Sky boxes will increase your subscription? And also increase the number of boxes you have in the house? Sky+, as long as you subscribe to movies or sport, costs no more in terms of monthly subscription than standard Sky, once you've bought the box. Whereas multi-room, or two separate subscriptions, definitely increases both your subscription costs and the number of Sky boxes you will need.

Hi

As The guys in Spain , multiroom is not an option anyway as it needs to be connected to the same Uk landlines

In fact there are NO Sky TV options available in Spain. Sky subscriptions are only available to UK residents.

So all you will ever get are the free to view channels using a "sky" box. Mind you it also reduces the subscription costs somewhat

Perhaps I should have inserted the odd "legally" in there somewhere
