Either way, when it commences at 6pm tonight I will not be watching or recording anything on my sky+ HD box!

goodfella789

Ha ha, couldn't resist a bit of trolling there!!!

Seriously though, i highly recommend those 3 films i listed earlier if you haven't seen them already.

If you record something during the free weekend, will it still be available to watch on your box when the weekend's over?
