BSkyB Sky+HD

Satellite (Freesat & Sky); HDMI, Hard Drive, Dolby Digital; Newest review: 12/2012

The classy looks and large 2TB drive of the Sky+HD box make it a very tempting proposition, and luckily, they're not the only things to like about it. Connectivity is also excellent, and Sky

More information at: TechRadar UK, 7/2011 SkyHD Digibox It has been possible for Sky subscribers to have a multiroom subscription for some time, so they can watch TV in another room, but a secondary Sky+HD box has also been required to view the channels in HD - until now that is. … to review

More information at: CNET.co.uk, 9/2010 Sky+HD 1TB The UK is fast becoming a nation of hi-definition addicts. Be it via Sky, Virgin Media or Freeview, it seems we just can't get enough of HD TV. Statistically, there's a good chance that you, dear reader, are already hooked. Get used to it. There's no going back. Once you've succumbed to HD's crystal clarity, it's difficult (nay impossible) to watch regular blur-o-vision again. The good news is you probably won't have to if you subscribe to Sky. The pioneering satcaster is currently transmitting 46 channels of sweet eye candy, the latest being Good Food HD, Living HD and Comedy Central HD. So there's more than enough to keep you engrossed. This is both a blessing and a curse. … to review

Satellite (Freesat & Sky); HDMI, Hard Drive, Dolby Digital; Newest review: 6/2010

"Sky doesn't have the luxury of a high-speed network connection so that it can offer video-on-demand content to its customers, like Virgin does. On the other hand, it does have more hi-def

More information at: CNET.co.uk, 6/2010 Sky+HD Sky was the first company to launch a digital television system in the UK, beating terrestrial broadcaster ONdigital -- later known as ITV Digital, and now Freeview -- by around a month and a half. Sky Digital promised improved picture quality, with none of the analogue satellite picture problems, and a massively improved selection of channels. Sky has never looked back, because its digital offering has helped it get into homes that would never have considered analogue satellite TV. … to review

A monthly subscription giving HD movie access while very expensive still offers a vast range of titles. Sky HD's image and audio can also be on occasion of very high standard, though variable

More information at: Pocket-lint.co.uk, 4/2009 Sky HD 2009. Does the new EPG make a difference? Three years after its release date, Sky HD upgrades the Electronic Programme Guide to make the most of it. Does the upgrade add anything when the hardware hasn't changed at all? … to review

BSkyB Sky+HD 160GB box

Satellite (Freesat & Sky); PVR (Sky+ / Freeview Playback), USB, Hard Drive, HDTV; Newest review: 6/2009

Not only is 160GB a huge improvement over the original Sky+ box's 40GB storage, but the entire user-interface has been hugely improved too. According to Electric Pig, Sky only really suffers

BSkyB Sky HD

Satellite (Freesat & Sky); Hard Drive; Newest review: 6/2006

"... So does it live up to the promise? Yes, however like widescreen, it only adds to the experience rather than making poor shows and movies any better."

More information at: AVReview, 6/2006 Sky HD With hundreds if not thousands of wannabe Sky HD subscribers having to suffer postponed installations as Thomson struggles to supply HD receiver boxes fast enough, it's fair to say that the birth of Sky HD has not gone smoothly. Thankfully, however, we at AVreview have managed to get our Sky HD up and running, so we thought we'd let all of you who haven't got it yet know if it lives up to all the 'greatest advance in TV since colour' hype… … to review
