| More about Sky+HD box | More about Sky+HD 2TB box | More about Sky Multiroom | |
The Sky HD Multiroom box lets you watch the TV you love in different rooms at the same time. Plus, if you also have
Sky Entertainment Extra+ you can enjoy stunning HD
throughout your home.
Along with a Sky+ subscription (which is free for Sky TV customers), a Sky+ box is a digital TV receiver and a digital video recorder that lets you record and play back your favourite shows without tapes, DVDs or timers whenever suits you.
Programmes you've recorded can be accessed via the on-screen menu. Your Planner shows you all the programmes you've got stored, indicating what you've seen and what's waiting to be watched. To watch a recorded programme, go to the Planner, highlight the programme you want, and press "select".
You can record and store up to 185 hours of standard definition TV or around 60 hours of high definition TV on your Sky+ or Sky+HD box, and up to 1180 hours of standard definition TV or 350 hours of high definition TV on your Sky+HD 2TB box.
Your Sky+ box will come with a Sky+ remote control. You can buy additional remote controls, as well as a TV link to let you watch the same Sky channel on another TV and a Wireless Connector if you want to connect to On Demand wirelessly.
More about Sky Accessories
The Sky+HD 2TB box gives you the ultimate TV viewing experience. If you like to watch your favourite TV again and again, it gives you a recording capacity of up to 350 hours in HD or a massive 1180 hours of standard definition TV. Plus you'll have all the flexibility of the Sky+ box with pause, rewind and record.
Yes, it's quick and easy to upgrade an existing box to a Sky+HD 2TB box, and if you currently have a Sky+ or Sky+HD box, you may not even need a visit from an engineer. The box costs from just £49 for existing Sky TV customers upgrading to Sky Entertainment Extra+ or taking a new Sky Multiroom subscription (standard set-up costs apply. Existing Sky+ or Sky+HD customers may be able to choose self set-up for £15).
A terabyte is the same as 1000 gigabytes of memory. In the Sky+HD 2TB box, 2 terabytes of recording space equates to about 350 hours of HD TV or 1180 hours of standard definition TV - six times as much as a Sky+HD box.
There are up to 68 channels available in high definition, depending on your Sky TV package
Sky Entertainment Extra+ (£31.50 a month) gives you access to over 45‡ HD channels, in line with your Sky TV subscription. Among the channels you'll get are Sky Atlantic HD, Sky1 HD, FOX HD, Discovery HD and Nat Geo HD.
Sky Movies (£16 extra amonth on top of your Sky TV package) and Sky Sports (£20 extra amonth on top of your Sky TV package) channels are available to Sky Entertainment Extra+ customers when the HD Pack (£5.25 extra a month on top of your Sky TV package) is added, depending on your Sky TV package. So if you have the standard definition Sky Movies Premiere and/or Sky Sports 1 in your package you will receive the high definition version of that channel if available in the HD Pack.
Experience everything from sports and movies to arts, drama and documentaries, all in stunning high definition, with access to up to 68‡ HD channels. The HD channels you receive depend on your Sky TV package.
We show hundreds of different films every month on 11 dedicated high definition movie channels so you can catch even more of the action and drama in stunning high definition. And, with more live sport, more HD coverage and more live 3D coverage than ever in 2011, Sky Sports viewers are now enjoying an even bigger year in 2012.
Enjoy every practice and qualifying session and every race in the F1™ season live in HD, on our dedicated channel, available to and Sky TV customers with the Entertainment Extra+, the Sports Pack and the HD Pack. You'll be spoilt for choice with live coverage of three of Golf's Majors including the Masters in 3D, Test cricket, Prizefighting boxing, NFL, Grand Slam tennis, Heineken Cup rugby and football from the UEFA Champions League and Barclays Premier League.
Plus, there's content available, at no extra charge, on iPad, iPhone (3GS or above), laptops, PCs and Macs through Sky Go anywhere in the UK or Ireland wherever you have a Wi-Fi or 3G connection.
