Sky+ est arrive - and I think I prefer TiVo
Monday, July 31, 2006
So far the only technology to have arrived in the new house has been Sky. I had to get it because a) we can’t get freeview and b) we can’t get cable (don’t even get me started on broadband).
Anyway - after a customer service minor nightmare from hell, we managed to get Sky+ up and running, and I’m sort of craving for my old TiVo (which I’m now selling, if anyone is interested). Perhaps it’s just the devil you know - but it was much, much easier to move around. And it’s a real drag having to lose the picture when you go to the TV guide.
Also Tivo allowed you to find programmes with a really need A-Z interface (where you could spell them out, or look by genre) whereas Sky_ just offers a vast un-navigable A-Z, unless I’ve missed something.
Oh well - I’m sure that one day I’ll love it.
