cool :D But do you guys not have tivo or sky + equivilants? Here you can get a box for £100 and does it pretty faultlessly, although you have to be on quite a high subscription package. Still once you have lived with being able to have series link and rewind tv etc its hard to live without!!

They've only started with that since september here, but it's not what it should be. Only movies are on demand, not shows.

ah no not TV on demand thats only in its infancy here to with only one major provider. Sky + is just a box that can record 2 programs at once too, basically a PC only much simpler. Its also constantly recording what you are watching too allowing you to pause and rewind TV. I guess yours could do that too?
