What is PVR?
PVR stands for Personal Video Recorder. This technology, which is included in the Sky + box allows viewers to have complete control over when they watch their favourite programmes. Using a built in hard disk, rather than video tape, the Sky + box can be set to record television shows for later viewing.
What are the benefits of the Sky + Box?
The Sky Plus Box allows viewers to control when and how they view television. This particular product provides superior viewing capabilities by ensuring you will:
- Never Have to Choose Between Two Programmes Again
With the Sky Plus box you will never have to decide between two programmes that are aired at the same time. Instead, you will simply view on programme now and record the other so that it can be watched later.
- Always Be Able to Watch Your Favourite Show, No Matter What Time of Day it is
The Sky Plus box allows you to record your favourite programmes and watch them whenever you like - over and over again. Moreover, you can record up to two other shows at the same time as you are viewing a previously recorded programme.
- Never Miss Important Action
With the Sky Plus box you do not have to choose between answering the phone and watching the show. Now, you can allow your attention to be diverted freely because the Sky Plus box will let you pause and rewind live TV. It is instant replay at your finger tips!
- Save Those Magic Television Moments for a Life Time
One of the most in-demand features of the Sky Plus box is it's ability to transfer recordings to DVD or video. Unlike some other PVR machines that limit viewers to a set memory size, the Sky Plus Box allows you to record entire seasons and store them for later.
- Never Watch an Irritating Advert Again
By using the Sky Plus box's Live Pause and Fast forward function you have control over which adverts you watch and which you do not. This feature is also excellent when you would like to skip ahead in a programme or sporting match.
- Enjoy Sky Anytime
New this year, Sky Anytime expands the features of the Sky Box creating a database of programmes that you can view any time you choose. These programmes are in addition to the ones that you have selected for recording and usually represent a wide range of interests.
Did you Know that you can now program your Sky box with your mobile phone or over the internet?
Never worry about forgetting to program your Sky box before you leave the house. Even if you forget, you can still program it remotely using your mobile phone or internet.
Using select mobile phones, you are now able to browse a full week of listings and program your Sky Box to record them. Similar service is also available to those who do not have the special Symbian Smartphone. Using any mobile phone, viewers are able to text message with their recording request after completing a short registration.
