About Sky+ Box
The Sky+ set-top box contains all the features of the standard Sky Box - the same great picture and sound quality, parental controls, interactive programme schedule - which the ingenious added ability to pause, rewind and record live TV, thanks to the built-in PVR (personal video recorder). With the record function, you can store up to 40 hours of live television straight on to the Sky+ box, without any need for blank tapes or rewritable DVD's.
The Sky+ box is a twin tuner, meaning that you watch one programme whilst recording one from another channel, and can record two programmes at the same time. The interactive TV guide featured on the standard Sky Box has also been upgraded to incorporate the recordable function of the receiver - you can easily program the box to automatically record any chosen programme on the schedule; you can even do this from your mobile phone thanks to the innovative Sky By Mobile application, so you don't even have to be in front of your TV to do it.
Currently, there is a one-off fee of £99 for the Sky+ box, and, unless taken with a Sky Multiroom deal, there is an additional £30 fee for installation. Sky+ is a hugely popular interactive digital TV service, offering customers a truly revolutionary service.

Sky+ - Testimonials
"The Sky+ Personal Video Recorder is the best TV gadget around, and is now available to Sky subscribers without the need to pay an extra monthly fee, it is incredibly easy to use. Uniquely, you can programme it while you’re on holiday, either on the web or by sending a text message."
The Evening Standard, 20 September 07
"Sky’s innovative Sky+ digital video recorder will in time be recognised as the product that launched a thousand competitors. The way the Sky+ box goes about its business is still a lesson for the competition. The on-screen menus and programme guide are easy to read, simple to understand and a piece of cake to navigate. Find the programme you want to copy on the guide, and press record. That’s all it takes. Even if you’re out of the house when the realisation that you’re missing Dog Borstal strikes, you can go to sky.com and set the box recording via your mobile phone. The original and the best"

"Something that was quite complicated once is now very, very simple."
Felicity Kendall
"No more scrambling for blank video tapes, the hard disk in Sky+ works with the in-built programme guide; highlight the programme press the record button and you’re done. Plus, if the phone rings while you’re watching live TV, you can press pause and come back to it when you’re ready."
