No it doesn't.

1: How do I record something from catch-up TV?

2: Not all channels with a +1 version are available on catch-up TV.

1. Why would you need to? You'd just watch it.

2. True, but that's where the V+ comes in.

4 things at the same time? How often does that happen (if ever?!?!) You'd have to be a very heavy tv user.

I agree. Things are repeated so frequently that it would have to be a rare set of events that occurred to make it essential that you had to view all of them in a short space of time.

In which case why have a video recorder of any type if you could "just watch it"? I often record programmes to watch at a later time when there's nothing on that I want to watch.

Not really. There have been quite a few times that there's been several things on at the same time that I want to record. Being able to us the +1 channels is very useful.

Just because you don't watch them doesn't mean they shouldn't be there. There are plenty of channels on the EPG that I never watch, doesn't mean I think they should get rid of them. If it's that much of a problem for you then why don't you just use the favourites list? Then you won't have to see all the +1 channels "clogging up the EPG".

National Geo HD channel is nothing but pixelated and actually froze my box!

FX HD seems great tho!

So this ESPN thing - do we get the premier matches in HD?

It's not that much of a problem for me. I just said I would prefer it if there were none rather than having even more. Just my personal opinion. Touchy. Sorry.

I'm perfectly chilled, it's just getting a bit repetative with everyone asking the same questions, when they're readily available in this thread and others, and other websites.

I apologise.

It depends on the tv show itself, lots of archive footage are in national geo documentaries and lots of older documentaries a few years ago were recorded in 720p so they look ok but not great. New documentaries look very good, if you watch a few mins of Helicopter Wars @ 11pm you will see that new documentaries look very nice indeed.
