About your Sky±HD box
With your Sky±HD box, a compatible HD ready TV and the relevant subscriptions you
can enjoy fantastic Sky entertainment in glorious High Definition.
Your Sky±HD box gets HD information from the satellite through the minidish, it
then decodes the information and sends it to your TV.
With a Sky± subscription, your Sky±HD box is a video recorder and satellite receiver
in one. It also has two inputs from the satellite dish, which means you can watch one
programme while recording another.
What are HD and Sky±HD?
Sky currently has the widest choice of HD channels in Europe, across sports,
and movies, to arts, drama and documentaries. Enjoy over 13,000 hours of HD
programmes a month – that’s more than three times the standard definition output
of the UK’s five terrestrial channels combined.
Our Sky±HD 1TB box comes with all the flexibility of Sky± and one terabyte storage
capacity which equates to 740 hours of SD content and 240 hours of HD content.
Plus with Sky Anytime you can discover a selection of the week’s best TV ready to
watch when you are. And with Sky Anytime± if you have Sky Movies 1 and 2 and a
broadband connection you can access a huge library of movies and entertainment.
