The last programmes I recorded off any of the BBC channels were probably the excellent 'The Fall' and 'Happy Valley' however just because I don't watch much off them I don't assume the channels have little worth watching. Everybody's tastes are different that's why pay tv became so popular as it offers a wider range of content.

Primarily because I had a half price code which runs out on Saturday and I figured that the new box wouldn't have enough compelling changes for my usage. Glad I bought last week as they ran out of stock this week.

The intel windows stick has caught my eye £79 not bad tbf for a intel windows product, i'm waiting to see a few more reviews on it then might buy one.

The worrying thing is that there are even fewer 'gems' to find these days, except on SA. In fairness, there are a couple of programmes on Sky 1 this week that I am recording - Zoo and The Last Ship, although I'm not yet sure whether Zoo will be good as I've not watched it yet.

Zoo is ok nothing spectacular but not bad either, aslong as you take it with a pinch of salt you'll probably enjoy it, the season has finished in the states now all i say is it gets better as it goes along.

The Enfield haunting was superb, the blacklist is great too, i couldn't get into Dracula it just didn't appeal to me i watched the pilot then gave up on it.
A few more good shows that i watch on USA services that are on SKY channels the flash, murder in the first (i think that might be on fox?), arrow, strike back (season 5 was final season),blue bloods. That is just a couple from top of my head.
As for old boys list of stuff to watch i feel your pain fella my hulu and netflix list of stuff to watch is very long lol but mine has built up due to me being a keen gamer but i do need to make some time to start watching stuff lol.

Madam Secretary and Strike Back have been particularly good although the storyline on the latter has got a bit beyond the realms of reality recently! Still very watchable, though!

Recordings can be watched for 3 months after a channel has been removed.

Not something I have any interest in however it was a Rose d'Or 2014 Sitcom nominee and commissioned for a second series so obviously some enjoy it. As I say we all have different tastes.

BBC almost certain to retain Wimbledon TV rights.
