Bit of advice needed please:

In one room I have bt vision like the recording pausing etc. We are subscribed to bt.

In the other room I have my skye sysyem just running the free channels, anyway my vcr has packed up & they are not so easy to get hold of now, anyway can anyone tell me if I but a Skye + box say from Ebay will it be able to do the same as my BT vision or do I have to sibscribe to skye.

Budget a bit tight at the moment so I dont want to be paying for 2 subscribtions, so would would you advice:

Get another BT box
Go with the Skye + box
Buy another vcr

Sorry so the rambling not so good on all this tecy stuff cheers

being a Skye man love the spelling of Sky

get Sky + as its far superior to bt vision, and it wont cost you more each month if you have the Sky subscription

you could get freesat + if you dont have a Sky subscription, which has a lot higher intial cost but after 18 months to 2 years will save you money................ but its all hypothetical as we dont really know what you have

With Sky+, you have to have a subscription in order to use the recording facilties.

You have two choices if you want recording without a subscription: Freeview+ and Freesat+. Freeview comes via an aerial, Freesat comes via a dish.
