welcome to satellites forum,

At the moment, you require a subscription from the provider to use the 'plus' record facility.

My System: Sky+, DB 7000s, Gemini 4.3 in flash, Var on USB stick. Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Unaohm EP313, Swires Annie 204 Spectrum, Rover ST-4 Spectrum.

You will have to either subscribe or pay them £10 per month for the privilege.

Probably worth waiting a few months for the Freesat PVRs to be released.
