    How much does it cost to get a Sky+ box lads, lump sum or monthly rental?

    With Filmfour now freeview I'd like to record films to watch once missus is finished with BigBro & Love Island :mad:
    I suppose it'll be handy for the premiership as well.

    Anyone know how much, and if their is a waiting list :)

    not sure what the box costs, but you got to buy that.

    the monthly fee for sky+ is €15 but...

    if you subcribe to 2 or more premium sky channels (sky sports 1, sky sports 2, sky movies1, sky movies 2) then your monthly fee is €0.

    Nice one Cremo, I have the sports channels & premplus, no movies. Chancers probably want about 100 for the box

    This may be a stupid question, but how would one order such product, and is a satelite needed? As i don't think i'm allowed stick a satelite on the house.

    sky+ needs a satellite, it's basically a box that will recieve sky, record sky while watching another sky station, pause live tv (handy if doorbell rings), gets rid of video taping programs and can record programs series with one click of a button

    If your looking for an alternative, there are a good bit of HDD recorders on the market with/without DVD recorders.

    Sky+ is handy in the respect that you can use an existing system and have a personal recorder behind it all and the fact that it's as simple as 1+2.
    This is one of the reasons why it is so popular.
    If you can afford it, what's wrong with the needing satellite. Are you in a restricted area?
