I find it surprisingly easy to follow two programmes at the same time using this method (or at least get the gist of the second one). I have also become quite good at guessing how long the ad break will be and switching back at EXACTLY the right time. It's a gift, I tell ya! :-)<BR/><BR/>PS.

My old Panasonic DVD recorder used to have a "jump 5 minutes" button which was about right for Sky programming!overyourheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15348978597139506200noreply@blogger.com
