SKY+ any good

[Wotcher]

No it doesn't have one, but I suspect newer versions will so it can be hooked up to the SkyBB box so that Sky can offer true VOD services.

Don't worry about the horror stories you may have read about sky+ reliability. It is just as reliable as the next piece of PVR equipment available on the high street.

I would agree, since having upgraded to the High Def Sky+ box in June last year??, cannot remember exactly, whatever, no problems at all have shown up thus far. Which have also voted it as a 'best buy'.

If i go for sky+ do i get a chance to request a specific make of box?
If so what would you suggest?
Thx

I believe if you buy from sky, you get one choice:

Pace TDS470N - Pace Micro Technology

Obvioulsy you can upgrade to sky+ yourself by buying a sky+ box and quad lnb. You then just need to ring up sky to switch on the sky+ features to your card and to 'marry' the card with the new box.

No, you don't get to choose which make, you buy a Sky branded Sky+ box.
You can, however, ask the installer what he has on his van at the time of the install.

Even though my Sky+ boxes has broken down more times than my PC, it is still a great bit of kit.
