New X-Ray machines won't work

And we are told they would be the savior when in fact, according to this "inventor", they wouldn't even have caught this guy who tried to blow up the plane! WTF.

Re: How to Watch Decent UK TV live?

And of course, the other advantage of the sling, unlike the Iplayer, I can watch stuff 1 hour, 1 week or 3 months later. The SKY+ DVR keeps everything I record for as long as I don't delete it. The...

Re: How to Watch Decent UK TV live?

Re: How to Watch Decent UK TV live?

SKY+ is a DVR and you can set it to remote record from an Iphone or computer or from the TV itself. The Sky+DVR has series...

Re: How to Watch Decent UK TV live?

I guess, I'd like to add though, the advantage of Sling can be pretty big.

1. No Monthly fee
2. No restrictions on what you can watch or when

Re: How to Watch Decent UK TV live?
