Sky HDNewest Review: ... picture becomes), you will notice the difference when you play a Blue Ray disc and Sky HD - the picture would be much better on Blue ray. The box itself comes with a 160GB free storage hard drive and is pretty much similar to the standard sky box or Sky+.

Sky HD is the latest generation of broadcast available in the UK. The main obvious feature of this is a vastly improved picture quality. With the sales of HD ready TVs at an all time high, this Sky package is perhaps one of the most anticapted releases for many years in the world of TV. By subscribing to Sky HD you will recieve a new Sky + box which allows you to record your favourite programs onto the 120Gb Hard drive, and also allows you to record one Sky channel whilst watching a completley different channel. There are also other features made available by this, such as 'Series Link' which allows you to program your Sky + box to record your favourite series ...
