Grab remote, look in guide, press record button. You'd think you were being asked to wipe with sandpaper!

@booboo If that is what they are thinking they are applying absolutely fuck all thought.

Ten years ago, I'm pretty sure they did it to try to coerce everyone to pay extra for MySky, but that reason is long gone.

Either there is some way they are still able to generate revenue by not televising it in what I would considerr a prime spot - or they're just morons.

To be honest I can't understand why you guys are apparently supporting this moronic line?

Especially when you're in Australia!

Am I actually very surprised their are people with Sky that don't have MySky. I didn't think they even made non recording boxes anymore.
And if you still have one from years ago you probably weren't paying attention when you could have upgraded for free.

That would be why they think their customers have the ability to watch when they want (as long as they remember to record)

@chris-b hang on...which is more moronic?
A. Gnashing and wailing about the time of a replay when it can be recorded and watched at any time.
B. Recording and watching at any time and not bothering with the replay.

The best part about recording it is that you can fast forward all the rubbish and just watch the real rugby when numbers 9-15 have the ball.

My 80-something year old grandfather knows how to record shit on Sky.
And does so - for fucking everything. I don't think he even watches anything when it's actually televised any more... just records everything, and watches it when he feels like it. It doesn't seem like it's much of a "waste of time".

The worst thing about recording it is if you can't resist the FF button when ABs are stinking the joint out and you watch the mother of all comebacks in x12 speed.

[taniwharugby]

@crucial there are still boxes that can't record.
The Prime replay kicked off at about 5 am I think, finished about half 7 and the next prime replay is 12.

Prime is best recorded due to ads.

Judging by the jokes surfacing in other threads, grandpa ChrisB may have provided the fern with a rival to 'When's the team named?'
