**Introduction** I had wanted to get Sky for a while and having moved to a smaller town in February last year I was unsatisfied with the Pubs in the area compared to where I used to watch Football in my hometown of Taunton. I had been thinking about Sky for a few months but was put off by the price so opted for making do with ... Read the complete review

Introduction:- We recently moved into a new house and having Sky installed was close to the top of our list of luxuries that we wanted when we moved in, we mainly settled with Sky due to the fact that we cannot get Virgin Entertainment packages in our area at present, and when compared to other digital TV companies, provided ...

INTRODUCTION When I joined sky just over a year ago, this was the SKY plus HD box I chose. So far I have not had any problems; in fact I really enjoy using it! DESIGN Design wise, this Sky box looks really good, especially when considered with the previous old Sky white boxes, as well as the competitor's ... Read the complete review

This box is basic and at times unreliable, we've had it a few years and it has done the job it's supposed to but I'm not overly impressed with it, it makes a constant whirring sound even when switched off on to Standby and sometimes vibrates which is very annoying, memory is not massive and sometimes when playing things back it gets ...

==Amstrad DRX890Sky Plus HD Set Top Box== I always said we would never get Sky but because of the deal where you get the internet, phone and extra TV channels worked out a lot cheaper than what I was already paying with BT for internet and phone I decided it was worth it (especially as I got £100 Marks and Spencer ...

I have had this box for 6 months now and mechanically it has been sound but the software has been glitchy ever since initial setup. The box has a wierd lag when flicking through the planner when it's filled with recordings, normally at about 35% free space it starts to lag, and go crazy. Not very helpful at all when deleting ...

I've had sky t.v. for quite a few years now. Last year my sky + box broke and, although I lost all my recorded t.v., getting a new sky + HD box was brilliant. It's the nicest looking sky box so far as it's quite streamlined, much more so than the old boxes, and the colours are much nicer (black and silver). Not only is it the nicest ...

When we moved into our flat a couple of months ago it hadn't really crossed my mind to get Sky. My Mum and Dad has Sky until about 3 years ago when they got rid of it as their TV had freeview built in anyway and they just couldn't justify the monthly payment. My partner was used to Sky though as her Mum and Dad had it in their house and ... Read the complete review
