In addition to the traditional and Sky Plus boxes, Sky also offers a High Definition box for those seeking the sharpest and clearest picture.
Sky + HD Box allows you to view your favourite programmes with four times more detail than a standard broadcast, ensuring that once you've experienced HD, everything else just looks blurry.
What Programmes are Offered in HD?
Currently, Sky Digital is the top provider of digital programming, airing more HD content than any other broadcaster in the UK. These programmes are then viewed through the Sky + HD Box on 720p and 1020i formats.
In addition to the superior picture quality, the Sky + HD Box also provides all of the benefits that come with the Sky Plus box. These benefits include the ability to record up to 80 hours of standard or 30 hours of HD television.
What Other Benefits does the Sky + HD Box offer?
Similar to the Sky Plus box, the Sky + HD Box allows viewers to assume complete control over their viewing habits. In addition to watching HD quality programmes, the Sky + HD Box also ensures that you will:
- Never Miss One Show in Order to Watch Another
The Sky HD box allows you to record one show while you watch another. This means never having to choose between two programmes that are airing at the same time.
- Sky has the widest range of HD channels in the UK with everything from movies and sports to arts and drama and documentaries- now with access to up to 34 HD channels with the HD Pack (£9.75 extra a month).
- Always Have Access to Your Favourite Shows
With the Sky HD box you are in charge of when you watch television. This means cutting the control that air times used to have over you. It doesn't matter if your favourite show airs in the early evening, you can watch it morning or night, whenever you choose.
- No More Irritating Interruptions
They Sky HD box allows you to take interruptions in stride, because now you have the ability to pause and rewind live television. With the Sky + HD Box you are able to answer the ringing phone, fix a snack, or even run an errand without missing a moment of the action.
- Never Miss an Episode in the Series.
With Sky + HD Box, you won't ever miss an episode in the series. The "Series Link" feature allows you to record every episode automatically. Even better, your Sky HD Box will take care of rescheduling for any airing changes and even avoid taping repeats!
- Record Beyond the Box
Although some PVR machines force you to delete programmes to make room for new ones, your Sky + HD Box does not. Instead, you have the ability to transfer programs from your Sky + HD Box to DVD or video.
- Control Commercials
The Sky + HD Box allows you to control which advertisements you watch and which ones you skip. The Live Pause and Fast Forward button give you the ability to skip not only commercials, but also any other television content that you want to bypass.
- Enjoy Sky Anytime
Next time you sit down to watch television you will have three options - the programmes currently on-air, the programmes you have recorded with your Sky + HD Box , and, new, the programmes that Sky has chosen to offer with Sky Anytime. A new addition during the Spring of 2007, Sky Anytime programmes include are a wide variety of programmes available anytime, night or day.
Program your Sky + HD Box even while you're away using the internet or your mobile phone.
Even if you forget to program your Sky + HD Box before leaving the house, you will still have the ability to record your favourite shows. Now, select Symbian Smartphones allow users to view a week's worth of listings and sned recording messages to their Sky + HD Boxes.
Even those without a Symbian Smartphone can program their Sky + HD Box from a distance using Sky's text messaging service or their internet.
