Personally I find the Tivo to be toffee. All this remote linking crap and
digital to analogue record just seem a waste of time to me.

Sky+ isn't perfect but if you are already paying for at least two premium
channels it seems madness not to get it.

Hi All,

I have been a long time Tivo user as has my wife and we both loved it. We
recently had sky mutiroom installed which included a sky+ box - the end of
tivo or so we thought. We have since been struggeling to get our head
around
the sky+ interface and think we are gonna have to dig out the old tivo and
plug it in again - atleast to the non '+' box.

The simplest task like telling sky+ to record all 'Spooks' episodes seems
impossible unless spooks happens to be on that day (a-z search only works
on
todays programs as far as we can tell). Forget about it automatically
recording new series automatically because we had previously had a seaon
pass.

Anyone else already gone through this and found the same or are we being
really dumb and using sky+ incorrectly ? A friend told me he buys a weekly
tv guide to find out when things are on and then searches by time and date
to get stuff recorded but that rather defeats the object of an EPG doesn't
it?

Ta for any advice
Chris
