One extra thing.
Have to agree with loosehead, get a Sky+ box and you will never need a video again.
It records programs to a computer hard disk built into the Sky+ box.
Recording is a simple process of pressing the R button on the remote control.
The Sky+ box knows when the programs starts and stops and records it accordingly.
If the time of the program changes the Sky+ box will know that and record at the proper time.
You can set "series link" where it records every episode of the series (Dr Who for example) without you having to remember to set it.
You can also record one channel while watching another.
Watching a program is easy (no need to hunt for videos) and you can pause, wind back, skip forward (to miss adverts) and so on.
