      On a similar note: Sky. Love it to bits, but was dismayed to find that I can't record onto VHS any channel other than the one that's showing.

      Mayday! Mayday!

      And, No, I do not have Sky+.

        Legally of course.
        If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.

          Not sure how modern your telly is but on mine I set the scheduler and leave the telly on standby. At the appointed time the freeview box comes on, but not the telly.

          QB.

            Yes I know some people who are doing this more and more, especially as the stuff on telly gets worse and worse

              I thought about recording onto VHS from Sky too the other day, but then I remembered that it's not 1983 anymore.
              Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                Yes. I am a miser and didn't want to chuck the video machine in the bin. Stupid of me, as that's its short-term destiny, anyway!

                  Good answer!
                  Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                  I preferred version 1!

                    My wife bought me a VCR about 8 years ago. It cost a bit in terms of VCR's as it could play US tapes - I used to do a bit of work out there. It never once got used because I got a DVD player shortly after. We never even set the clock on it either so it had no use whatsoever! All it did was sit under our telly and consume power until I binned it.
