Many reason not to go the Igloo way.

I know people who subscribe to Sky who only watch an hour or two a month.

 

You only pick up 30 days if and when you want.

 

That's silly. You can buy a separate recorder or one of those cheap
gizmos for viewing and recording TV on your computer. They are dead
cheap. Replay through usb on TV or connect the computer with an HDMI
cable, but does anyone really record TV to watch later???

 

Yes but not on older models AND ONLY the Channel you are watching..

 

Channel 14 it was posted in the papers and on the Radio that it was
Only available on a True Freeview channel not Igloo.


Recoding Just not possible as its DVB T2 or do you mean the Analog TV
output..?

 

Only records the Channel you are watching..

 

Yes, so do I. They are sillier than the Igloo users, in my opinion.
Fred, I may express it strongly, but it is after all only my opinion.

Yes, I do, all the time. If there is a time clash, if I can't be
bothered to watch a film at the time it is on, if it goes on later than
I want to stay up, if people visit, if it is on when I am out. We don't
watch a lot of TV, and we watch even less when it is actually broadcast.
It is easy to record something 'just in case'. Most of it never gets
watched, but that's not a big deal!

Cheers,

Cliff

 

Igloo is not compulsory. If you don't want it then don't have it. It
costs nothing to have one sitting there, even if you never turn it on
except to use your PVR occasionally as I do.

 

Wiyh igloo you can pvr a channel while watching another channel through
igloo source.

 

I mean you can record the freeview channels but not the extra igloo
channels and ch14, Somit is on igloo regardless of what you read.

 

Some of the latest TV models just have the ability to record direct to
a USB stick or USB hard drive, rather than an actual in-built recorded
storage, which does make it easier to increase storage capacity when
you want to, or to archive shows (all of Fireman Sam on one USB stick
for example, although it's illegal to keep recorded copies of shows).

Bazillions of people do. One added bonus of doing that is being able to
quickly skip through the adverts!

 

I know people who watch almost exclusively Sky TV channels.

 

Just not possible it uses DVB T2 for one thing and recording from HDMI
is blocked..

I record some 8 or more programs a week..

 

Yes but its falsely advertises, they are not telling you that you need a
Internet connection and a un metered ISP and that it does not record..

 

Totally false it cant record full stop.

 

You cant full stop as its DVB T2

 

The Igloo box can't (yet), but the uyser can by simply using another
recording device plugged into the Igloo box.

 

The next gimmick by the TV makers will be to include dual-receivers in
the TV ... they have to leave something out so they can get numbskulls
buying the latest new model again in six months time.

 

My Mother recording her soap operas to watch later at night when the
rest of us had gone to bed ... thank goodness. She started doing
that way back when we first got a VHS recorder and still does it now
with a hard drive based recorder.
