I'm hoping they'll ditch the extra £10 for HD when you have a multiroom package - £20 a month is a bit steep for HD multiroom.

It'll be an absolute ball-ache. Just phone them up and pick the option to cancel your subscription, and tell them you're cancelling because recording's a pain in the arse.

This also runs a small risk of them going ahead and cancelling it

I have a Sony pvr and it does have epg for **SOME** sky channels but not all.
