lemarsh (ignore the channels part, cheap shot when we are currently talking pros and cons of DVD Recorders v SKY+, not the additional channels on Sky)
Leemarsh - my comment re freeview- ntl sky fta sat etc was about:-
1)picture quality- not numbers of channel ie on the same tv there is no difference between the different platforms (contary to some daft posts here.

2) A VCR / PVR/Pc can record off any of these sources- Sky+ can only record off sky

Therefore sky + is propriatory rubbish to be avoided at all costs.

Clearly to tape 2 ntl sources you need 2 ntl boxes and 2 recorders
