As long as you subscribe to channels over £19 you can have sky+.
If your going to join, join with sky+ straight away, don't get std sky & think you will upgrade later because it costs you more.

If you think you will like recording stuff & keeping it for a while, go for the bigger hard drive unit, currently it's down in price.

Insist on a pace V2 box, ensure you have phone lines in both rooms as for multiroom they check up more often to ensure your not lending/renting your 2nd std box to a friend etc.

If you need new phone cables to the bedrooms then best to get an extension & fit it yourself, Ihave seen some right messes where they will only staple to the skirting.

Sky Plus ROCKS!
It's so briliant being able to pause something when the phone rings, record it to watch later if your on long, record the simpson to keep the kids quiete while your watching a documentary & to record Alison on QVC for er indoors so she can get all the best beauty tips while you have been watching a sci fi etc.
