Will recording ever be free on Sky Plus boxes

[pdero26]

With the Hummax PVR boxes making inroads in this field. Its probable that their cost will fall and sky will have to react.

Any sign of movement on this subject? I note they have reacted to other developments of digital TV

wouldnt watch their channels if they were free, full of adverts and self promotion- a complete rip off.

yep its a rip off.. imagine it.. a company protecting their equipment from hacking.. what a disgrace..

If you want to record freesat then get a freesat box.. stop complaining about sky boxes..

they are excellent and do the job exactly the way they were designed..

just because a company tries to protect their intellectual property doesn't make them arseholes..

it's a free market.. if you dont like it.. dont buy it
