Range of HD content and extensive channel choice.
The Sky+ HD box offers loads of impressive features
And although it may sound dull
The remote control is one of them. We've got used to the layout of the Sky+ box's remote
As it's been around for so many years
And it's a great piece of design. All of the buttons are just where you want them
And because they feature subtly different shapes
It's easy to operate in the dark or without looking.

The editors didn't like
It's not cheap. The price has dropped from £300 to £150
But that's still pricey. Especially when you add the monthly subscriptions. Sky's on-demand service
Sky Anytime
Could also be better. At the minute Sky picks the...
Lacks comprehensive ondemand content.
The Sky+ HD box isn't the perfect solution
However. Virgin Media's TiVo box comes up trumps when it comes to TV on demand
With a much greater choice of channels and content on offer. The TiVo also offers a better electronic programming guide – at least when it comes to content – although it can't match the Sky+ HD for slickness and speed.
No Dolby Digital 5.1 over HDMI
You can't mute the EPG Mini TV window
USB and eSATA ports still not active
Can be a little noisy. Not as big a memory as it seems
We’d like more of that 300GB capacity available for recordings
No audio disable on the EPG
It's just a bigger drive
Not much to watch at the moment
Delay when switching channels
We're upset by the £10 fee for viewing HD
Too many channels that don't really deserve to be on the air at all
Abstract: Our man was one of the first UK viewers to get Sky HD installed in his country mansion. Now we get his first impressions of the television revolution that is Sky High Definition.

Für vergleichsweise wenig Geld erschließt der Sky+ S PVR HD 1 das große HDTV-Bouquet von Sky. Die HD-Programme der Privaten bleiben aber leider außen vor, obwohl der Receiver das Verschlüsselungssystem integriert hat. Zudem hat der Receiver ein paar te...
