About Sky+
Sky+ is a service from Sky Digital. As with Sky’s standard product you get access to a range of TV channels via satellite, depending on the entertainment packs and premium (sports and films) packs you have signed up for.
However if you sign up to Sky Plus, you also get a Sky+Box – a personal video recorder, or PVR. Unlike the standard Sky Box, which just lets you access the programmes, with a Sky+Box you can also pause, rewind and record live TV.
You can also record two different programmes at the same time so you can watch them when you want.
On a Sky Plus Box you get 40 hours of recording time – and there are no timers or tapes to worry about.
And you can record many series simply by pressing one button, with Series Link – so you don’t have to miss an episode of your favourite series or TV serials.
You can also now Remote Record with Sky+ – so if you are working late or out with friends, and you remember that you have forgotten to record a programme, you can set your Sky Plus Box to record remotely: either via your mobile phone, or from the Sky website.
You can compare the Sky+Box and Sky+HD Box here.
