In general we've com to the conclusion that with the proliferation of mix, plus1's and multi channel strategies, the need for recording is significantly diminished. If I missed ER on Thursday on E4, I could watch it 1hr later on E4+1 the next night on C4 and on Sunday on E4 and again on E4+1, thats 5 opportunities to see the same show. I find with an infant at home if you record something it generally does not get watched anyway, so forced scheduling is not a bad thing.

So we still have NTL, a faster interface would be nice though.
yeah SKY + isnt for everyone - it's probably only suited to those people who watch TV a lot - ie. already have a video or should have one. or it's suited to those people who like the luxury of it.

for the ocassional TV viewer, SKY + is probably not worth the dosh.
