    Will sky allow me to watch live and record at the same time (to watch again later) ?
    Froch vs Groves II last year did not allow me to record whilst I was watching it.

    I recently cancelled my HD and sports subscriptions and went down to the basic package. If I get this fight will i be able to watch it in HD?

    Agreed, even if I don't know the result it's just not the same watching a recording.

    Yes I think so. It's only Virgin customers who can't have the HD

    In two minds as to whether stay up and sacrifice my Sunday or try to have an early nap and be knackered anyway on Sunday, if I can even get to sleep. Perhaps setting the alarm for 6am tomorrow morning would be a good idea.

    I have tickets for Spurs tomorrow and do not want to be knackered and spoil it.

    Sky+ for me. Will be up early mobile switched off. Watch the whole show and whizz through adverts and padding. Probably 2 hours of solid viewing.

    No different from live if you don't know the results

    Just got the fry up kit in there.. Go to sleep S normal, wake at about 1ish to check it's recording - then back to bed, up at 0700 to watch the recording in my own time with a fat breaky and me brother..

    Fast forward through all the countless adverts & the intros on the undercard. Phone stays switched off, that's me sorted. All done and dusted for 1100 ready for bank holiday Sunday in town..

    Whats the deal with going to bed and getting up before it starts?

    Do you stay up then when its over?

    Ive never done this. Usually watch fights after a night out , after hours lock-in or just wait up.
    Its only a bit of sleep.

    My mate has ordered it, but I'll pop over about 11-12 tonight after I've had some sleep.

    Staying up from 9am this morning till 6am tomorrow morning is unhealthy (plus I'm a lightweight, hehe.)

    Think I'll have a kip around 8/9 till about 11/12 and then head over. Might even head over at 1am.

    its easier than doing an all nighter watching it

    then you feel fresh in morning

    I would rather watch it live. I usually stay up for the big fights and just sleep all sunday, can't beating watching live imo.

    Probably watch it the next day. I will most likely be too tired at 4/5am to get pumped and excited for this fight and truly enjoy it but we'll see what happens. I'm still undecided right now.
