Sky+ HD- An Exceptional TV Experience.

Advantages: Great picture, great features.
Disadvantages: None.

...Price When we moved into our flat a couple of months ago it hadn?t really crossed my mind to get Sky. My Mum and Dad has Sky until about 3 years ago when they got rid of it as their TV had freeview built in anyway and they just couldn?t justify the monthly payment. My partner was used to Sky though as her Mum and Dad had it in their house and was keen that we got it too. We had a look online and were offered the Entertainment Plus package, free Sky+ HD box, installation and £50 worth of M&S vouchers for £25 a month which is a lot better than the price I was expecting. TV Guide/ Planner I was in on my own when the Sky was in put in so when the engineer left I had full reign to explore the different features of Sky. Initially I found the menu hard to navigate as I was used to the older version and there?s the added ?+? element...

Review of SKY SKY HD BOX

SKY HD

Advantages: Superb picture quality
Disadvantages: Initial price and set up

...After all the hype I managed to get my Dad to invest in the HD box. He phoned the good people at Sky and managed to haggle the price down to around £100 off the advertised price and then had the cheek to also ask 'what happens to the old Sky+ box - can we have it installed in the bedroom thrown in'? Gosh Sky even agreed to that - so it's well worth having a chat on the phone and seeing what Sky can do for you! The box itself is simply Sky+ with extra's. The installation is a little irritating as the engineer told us that Sky are mega-security conscious. He said we had to leave everything turned on and wait at least 4 hours for the set up to be complete. He had to phone 'headquarters' to verify codes with them and actually said that took more of his time than the actual installation. He also said that he wouldnt be surprised if we had...

Review of SKY SKY HD BOX

SKY HD Box

Advantages: See Review
Disadvantages: See Review

...I was very exited when my SKY HD box arived. I was very anxeious to get it set up. I knew there wasen't going to be that many sky HD channels to choose from but exited none the less. To prevent any ranting I will list the main advantages and disadvantages below. Dual tuner: This means that I can record and watch two different channels at the same time. Good for me as I watch loads of TV. This also has its draw backs because you have to have two seperate areal cables for each tuner don't ask me why. I would have been happyer if there was three tuners like the V+ boxes. The major draw back for SKY HD is there are a combination of things you can't do that you should be able to do with the dual tuner. For one you can't view the TV guid while two recordings are in progress. And it seems to prioritise recording an extra three minutes...
