Sky+ Box

[TripleT]

Hi

Is a fully working Sky+ Box any use one you cancel the subscription? If so what can it do?

If not how much is it worth?

The old man has decided to give this Telewest Sky+ alternative a try as he's sick of the **** support from Sky and the charges / boxes breaking (Telewest don't charge for callouts and give you new boxes FOC apparently). Plus it works out £7 cheaper for the full package.

Cheers

What are pvr functions sorry?

We've had nothing but trouble from Sky+ over the past 2years and getting bent over everytime a box ****s up or some fat gorrilla comes out to "take a look" is pathetic. I love Sky+ to bits I really do, but it's worth giving Telewest a try, looks better specced and no service charges / parts or replacement charges is a bonus. Surely they wouldn't offer that if the boxes were as dodgy as the previous telewest digital (yes we had that and yes it was ****!).

Really can't be bother re-routing the cabling from the lounge upstairs (i've looked at those channels you can get using an old card and they're a joke!) so does the box have any use on it's own? Long shot like but... Say the recording functions etc?
