Bill I am not saying that the tv drive is a pace or samsung
The point I was getting at was that given that this person is having to wait for the tv drive to be available in his/her area, what is the alternative?
From somebody who has had stb's from NTL and my blood pressure is strangely returning to normal
I know the nightmare that they can be, when they fail going through the pain of phoning NTL every other week to be dictated to by a script to do things I have already tried BEFORE calling NTL it really is not worth the hassle.
How long have you had the thompson?
I would call sky and haggle for a deal but that is up to you
I am not suggesting that people do not have problems with sky boxes but in my own experience, and at the end of the day it is me who is paying for the services, I have not had an issue with my sky+ box since it was installed in september last year.
As far as I know there is a pc out socket on my sky+ box, and if I want to transfer from it I can just transfer it across to my sony hd recorder using the outputs from the sky+
