Sky Plus box

[auntiebertie]

I guess I will need to replace the old video recorder - with a SKyPlus box do you need to take a Sky service and have a satellite dish on the outside of your house. If so then what are the alternatives please?

yes you do need sky and a dish to use a sky plus box.

a sky plus box is basically 2 devices in one, a sky receiver for picking up sky channels (through a dish) and another device called a digital PVR (personal video recorder)

if you don't want sky but still want to record your normal TV then all you need is a digital PVR. such as

The one in that link will also allow you to receive and record freeview television.
