Don't start me on Sky. You pay Rupert £40 a month or whatever stupid amount it is now for 400ish channels and you can only watch one at once. Why charge extra for Sky+? You can only watch one at once still ( sort of ). The technology is in the Sky+ box so it cost's Sky nothing extra if you are recording a program. Rupert is not impressed that I am now able to put my sky card into my Dream Multimedia Dreambox and watch and record Sky programs that I pay for. It has benefits over the Sky+ as well, you can transfer the recorded programs to your PC and burn them to DVD, you can watch the programs on your PC by streaming them from the Dreambox, you can even watch them on the other side of the world over the internet (if your upload speed is fast enough
).
Don't get excited, Sky has not been hacked. I can just watch channels I pay for in a non Sky Satellite receiver. He is that pee'd off he has tried to force them to stop manufacturing the Dreambox.
