RE: [OT] Is Sky + as crap as I think it is ?

["Rob Mouser" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nope, I think you're bang on. I think Sky+ STINKS as far as the interface
and EPG goes. As for the huge cost, lip synch issues............
Shall I go on?
I still have my Tivo on my second sub box which is available around the
house. I cant live without it!

Oh, DD on some movies is a small plus.

Many thanks,

Rob
