So not only is it a quick and easy to use service, but it also does not require the additional cost of buying tapes or DVDs to record on.

Sky+ Features

In addition to the standard Sky Box features, Sky + allows the viewer to effectively control TV. The Sky + Box has the ability to pause, rewind and record live TV, so that you have complete control of your Sky Digital TV viewing.

Picture the scene, you want to go to the kitchen to make a cup of tea in the ad break of your favourite programme. However, it returns from the break before the kettle boils and you miss a crucial 5 minutes. Well, with Sky + that will never happen again. Using your Sky + Box you can pause the live feed while making your cup of tea and then start it again from the time you left when your return. You don't miss a second of your programme.

Consider another common TV viewing problem: there are two programmes you want to watch on at the same time. With conventional TV you have to choose, but with Sky + you don't. The cleaver Sky + system allows you to watch one programme while simultaneously recording the other to watch later. In fact Sky + will let you record two programmes at the same time.

That is not all. With Sky + and using the Sky programme guide, you can tell your system to record a future programme or even to record an entire series. It is as simple as selecting your programme from the guide and pressing the 'R' button. With this service you can make sure you record your favourite programme even when you are away from home. And if that was not cool enough, Sky + customers can now also command their system remotely using their mobile phone. So if you are out on the town having a few drinks with friends and you suddenly remember that you forgot to set the Sky + Box to record a programme that night, you can remedy the situation by simply getting out your mobile. You can also set your Sky + system using the Internet. Simply go to Sky.com and follow the instructions. Brilliant.
