> But is it changing your Sky box for you?
I take it SS cannot do this?

It can with adons, but if your PC is in a different room that open a
whole new set of problems.

> Can you control it from an IR remote?
For me, that's immaterial, as I do audio from the Fujitsu already (or at least, I will do when I fix the wireless card).

I used to use my laptop to do that.  The Mrs was NOT interested in
booting up a PC to control another PC to watch Eastenders!

> I take it SS lacks season passes?

Yes.

> Is this not possible either?  That's not very good.

Nope.  It does the PAUSE thing, but the quality is awful.

> Does it record suggestions for you?
I'd be surprised if it could.

Why?

> Is it silent?
My machine runs in a different room,

So did mine, there's the control issur then as above

> The big question though, is "Does SS cost =A310 a month?"
I have a lifetime sub, so I'm "out" for 400 quid.  The PC co= st more than
that.
