B Sky B pushing PVRs

BskyB has launched a STG20 million campaign to drive sales of its new digital video recorder Sky Plus (Sky+). ... It will feature three 40-second spots in which a variety of celebrity couples are used to demonstrate how Sky+ transforms television viewing. The couples -- Bruce Forsyth and Kelly Brook; Ronnie Corbett and Alice Cooper; and Noddy Holder and Simon Callow -- are shown living together and debating what to watch on television.
ElectricNews.net:News:For the record 15 October

I can't see these adverts as I am in Japan but it will be interesting to see if TV advertising for a TV service will propel PVRs further into the English market.

Unfortunately it's pretty limited when compared to TiVo et al. Equally unfortunately it's the *only* PVR currently available in the UK that works with any kind of DTV.
Unfortunately I have cable.
