Nasty Mr Murdoch is true but I do love my NBA and they are the only lot who show it regularly. That aside Sky+ is a joy but DO get the bigger model (or fit yer own harddrive into a smaller one).

If you DO decide to go with Sky let me know, I can ‘introduce’ you and you’ll get your subscription for half price for the first four months (time it right and get the full Sports package over the World Cup then drop it afterwards maybe??)
