New Sky+ box

Posted by: BigH47 on 19 May 2010

Those nice people at Sky have offered existing customers the new Sky+ box, with a host of new features ie a 1TB drive, yes that's it.
With a $100 discount only £149 , what a fracking bargain that is?

How much is a 1 TB drive over a 500GB ? not £250 FFS.

Why do I continue to give money to these arseholes? 'Cos the Sky+ box is so good that is why, none of the options seems to have so many features. They will continue to take the piss though.

Always wait a bit and the price will go down and eventually they will be giving them away - your subscription is more important to them than hardware sales.

It's the new SkyHD box with a 1.5Tb drive.

You could upgrade an old SkyHD box and put a larger drive in it. I upgraded the standard 300Gb to a 1TB one.

My argument with them is it's a face change and an upgraded H/D and no new facilities for £250?? Hardly VFM.

It would be nice if they extended the EPG to longer than a week.

If anyone is considering upgrading to the new box be aware there is no component out. It does however have an optical plus a co-ax out.
