I'm assuming HD-capable recorders aren't widely available and affordable just yet.
Sky HD has a built in Harddrive as standard using the Sky+ features. This means you can record HD programs to the HD to watch as often as you like, as well as pausing live TV if you needed to leave the room, and also if you have been watching the same channel for a while you can rewind whatever you are watching by up to 30 minutes which is great if you missed something.

It is however true that the discs do contain interactive extras that are not provided via the broadcasts, but how many of us actually watch the extras on most discs? Or maybe just once.
