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
But it is only £200 propritary rubbish. So in 18 months when the costs of otehr forms of PVR / DVDR have fallen in price to a similar level choice will open up.

At the moment I think in terms of value for money it can't be beat. When your done with it you have a HDD you can put in your PC too.
