Are you a plus or High Definition?
If you are looking for information about the various boxes that Sky offer, then the best location to look is on the main company site as it has details on all the possible options you have to choose from.
Choices come in threes
Sky Television comes with the option of three different types of box and the one that you take will all be dictated by the digibox that you have.
The Sky Box
The first digital box that Sky do is the simple digital box. The original digital box will allow you a selection of all the Sky programmes (except HD Channels) and all the basic included services.
Sky Plus
The second box that Sky offer is the Sky Plus digibox. The Sky+ digibox is a receiver that includes a hard-disk so you can record your favourite Sky programs with the press of a button. The service is amazing and enables you to both record programs but set the receiver to tape a whole series with the touch of a remote. The receiver offers the opportunity to record two channels at a time as well so you need never struggle to view and tape what you like. The recording service is free on condition you take up a paid television package, alternatively there will be a £10 monthly fee. The digibox itself can be obtained free of charge via various refer a family member offers but otherwise is up to £99 depending on current offers.
Sky HD+
The third Sky box available is the Sky HD digital box. The Sky HD receiver is very similar to the sky plus digibox but also includes component and H.D.M.I. sockets that can be used with Sky or 3rd party High Definition channels. This HD receiver is by far the most impressive available and costs £10 a month for the High Definition channels (called the High Definition mix) but it is also by a mile the greatest picture and audio quality on offer if you have an HD TV.
Overall, you will need to consider what suits you, your viewing habits and your money best.
