I don't think its too bad a value if you already have Sky Sports at around £8 more but I certainly wouldn't pay £16.50 for it.

Times have changed though, with a smart TV you can stream movies for free from several websites.

You can get virtually any content you want over the internet without paying , personally though I'm happy to pay for services what meet my needs , each to their own I guess.
I don't blame anyone for reviewing their sub's as premium content is getting more and more expensive and the choice is getting greater , I tend to play one service off against the other it usually nets you a discount.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
I've just downloaded The Wolf of Wall Street to my Sky box directly from the Sky Movies weekly email. Very impressive!

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
Updated the sky+ app on ipad this morning. Had a browse in new and recommended and decided to have a look at Criminal Minds S10E01. I find it's available On Demand but, for some reason, there is no option to record it only an option to watch it.
This is the first time I have come across this. I checked some other Eps in On Demand and they all have an option to Record.
Is this a bug or is there something special about the Ep in question?

Its because Criminal Minds S10E01 has already been sent to the box , basically the Old Showcase section for those who don't have their boxes connected to On Demand.

I never look in the Showcase section. Can't recall if I still have a Showcase section
Thanks for the explanation, I have never come across the situation before.
On further investigation I noticed only the HD version is affected so I am now downloading the SD version.
