AFAIK they look the same except that the front is switched (as in left and right).

Thanks all.

Out of interest, are there different Sky + boxes, or are they all the same?

All opinions/reviews welcomed!

we look forward to the review you'll be posting when you are up and running - let's hope it's as glowing as the pipex one!

Re: Sky Boxes

if you have not got £200 to pay up front for the box sky offer finance through blackhorse finance total box cost would be 260 but you can spread the payments from 6 months to 3 years

Because you have no life and a very urgent need to know whats on telly for at least the next seven days, and so desperate are you that you need to be able to record at least another two channels at once, as you have no friends and it'll keep you from buying a budgie and some piano wire....

Well yes, that is all obviously true, but I'm not quite sure where the piano wire comes into it?

The whole post was a joke Neil - the piano wire refers to a Jack Dee sketch...

Still wondering how the budgie relates to the piano wire especially as you have a little bird as an avatar.

If you haven'y seen the Jack Dee Duke of York Theatre show, then you won't get it.

Sorry, very . Although I am truly bewildered that anyone has a need to know what's happening 7 days ahead, or indeed to record two progs at once. There's enough repeats on telly these days, plus there is also lots to do out of doors to, especially now the weather is nice!

Indeed, I bought my first kite the other week and spent the bank holiday learning how not to crash it into my wife and son. Aah, the joys of the great outdoors.
