All your programs are recorded to your Sky+ box meaning no tapes, DVD’s or any fuss, just select what you want to record from the menu and press a button! A Sky+ box has approximately 40 hours recording time to store your programs.
Sky+ allows you to pause & rewind Live TV & even record two programs at the same time so you can watch them at a more convenient time.

If you find yourself out and going to miss a program you wanted to watch you can now set your Sky+ box to record a program via your mobile phone or by logging on to Sky.com.

What Is Sky HD
Sky High Definition (HD) is picture quality with four times more detail with truly amazing colours & depth. It is the ultimate way of watching TV and will revolutionise the way you watch a sports game or a movie. HD also uses millions more colours than normal TV, increasing the richness and intensity of everything you watch. And because many HD programmes are made with cinema-style surround sound, you can experience this in full with a compatible surround sound system.

To watch HD programmes you need:
  • HD Ready TV
  • HD set top box
  • Subscription to an HD TV service such as Sky+ HD

The Independent - The Ten Best TV Digital Recorders
9 November 2006

Sky HD tops the table for digital TV recorders with 91%, Telewest TV Drive receives 73%:
"The ability to receive and record HDTV is the major selling point of this model... It's simple to use, can record subtitles, and has twin tuners that allow you to record one channel while watching another or record two channels and watch a third recorded on the hard disk."
"A good on-screen guide... Excellent."
"If you're working late unexpectedly, a new feature called remote record allows you to record a programme by sending a text. You'll soon be able to do this online, too."

Which?
September 2006

"Sky's HD box is truly amazing... whole-heartedly recommended."
"Easy to use; stunning picture; amazing sound."
"Hi-def looks amazing, and once you get sucked in there's no way out."
"When the match started, I was transfixed. Close-ups and slow-mo sequences so blisteringly sharp that they made the diving and feigned injuries even more obvious. Crowd shots so well-defined you could almost touch the German mullets... Football is the perfect way to show off high definition, giving you an immersive, absorbing experience that transports you right to the stadium."
