So on Average you can get around 40 - 60 Hours of TV on your box.
The Box is Bright White and has a LCD Type clock which Turns on if you are recording a Programme, Warching a recorded Progamme etc.
The Box can also store up to 90 Minutes of TV so you can rewide or Pause Live TV if you want to or if something Happens.
The Box Comes With Sky Anytime. Sky Anytime is a bit like Video on Demand but the Progammes are downloaded and saved overnight...
