[QUOTE="jimbo, post: 421973, member: 175309"] Having taken up a Sky HD offer a few weeks ago I received an offer on Monday this week for two free box office movies. Ok nothing to lose I decided (on Monday) to record two so we could watch them this week. When they were recorded a note against each (in the planner) said they would be deleted at midnight on Sunday. Obviously a copyright protection measure because the 'keep/blue' button was switched off. Anyway we watched one of the movies on Monday night and when I brought up the planner on Tuesday night that one had been deleted. The note against the other one had been changed to say that the one left to see would be deleted 24 hours after it had been viewed. So we watched about half of that one that Tuesday night but when we went into the system on Wednesday night it had been deleted. So we missed 50% of the movie. I spoke to Sky and was told it was "to do with copyright, to stop movies being copied". The agent said, "the trick is to watch the movie in one go". I told him, "NO - the trick is not to order any box office movies in the future so they lose out". What a stupid way to treat your customers as well as monitoring their viewing habits big-brother style.)(-red [/QUOTE]
