It rewinds and pauses and everything!!!

We got Sky+ yesterday... It is a brilliant brilliant beautiful (well actually no) but definitely brilliantly superbly fantastic thing. So the rationale behind the purchase we got rid of the movie channels saving £9 a month leaving the Sports channels, so we pay nothing extra a month for it... so still saving £9 a month, we then pay £150ish for the box and £60 for a man to come and put it in. So £210, which will be paid for in..well no time really, think of the videotape we are saving, and that £9 a month.... it's a bargain really.

So first thing I did when I got in was read the book, well some of it. Then pressed buttons on the remote until I worked out what I was supposed to do. After I programmed it to record the OC for me. I watche Music TV for a bit.... it's a bit like having your first ever CD player. "look it'll go back to the beginning of the track, that easily and you can listen to it again". I watch November Rain 4 times before I got bored. AND then you can pause it. So there was this bit in the video that I have always though... what was that? y'know the bit where she is in the coffin and youn can only see half of her face.... can't say I still understand what it is about but I paused it and it was totally clear.... well I still don't understand it but you could see properly.

It's absolutely fantastic. And today I recorded the 3:30 repeat of the OC. I'm still trying to catch up, although I am watching the end off the series at the same time as the first which I suppose spoils the effect a bit. Anyway I decided to record it a second before I went out of the door and didn't have to search the whole house for a tape that doesn't already have stuff on. I love it. It's especially good if, like me, you just want to watch something and not keep it because you can just delete it straight after you have watched it. AND if you record something you can fast forward through the adverts at 30x the speed so like a second or something. £210 well spent.
