    SKy + and Adverts

    Does anyone have Sky plus?

    I was just wondering if you can fast forward through the adverts when you record a program?

    Would you do that if it was a normal feature on a TV?

    I think I would.

    If I want to buy something ill go to a shop and buy it, I wont buy it coz some leggy supermodel says I should.

    bitch :lol:

    Sky shouldn't be allowed to put adverts in their programmes seeing as it already costs £42 a month.

    This is what the fast forward key on your remote is for :lol:

    Obviously though, you can only fast forward if you are watching a program that you have recorded.

    Mythtv looks cool.. but I dunno where to start with it :lol:
    Gonna investigate over the next couple of months..

    Is it an actual OS in itself or could I use something like fedora core to run it on?

    that's not the case at all mate.

    in fact, of the current TV deal, sky pays £340million a season for the football rights and they generate £240million just from pub and club subscriptions. this means that sky only need £1.50 per month from its 5million subscribers to break into a profit.

    adverts are just a side revenue stream.

    well if you read my post you will see that i said they only need £1.50 per month from their 5million subscribers to break into a profit where the football rights are concerned.

    subscriptions don;t obviously cost £1.50, they are a lot more so that's where they get the extra revenue for all those things you mention

    SKY+ is the dogs. Just pause the TV while you go to the shita. Rewind or pause them channels in the 920 to 905 range at the right time is a fooking winner as well:wink:
