The Sky Planner
The Sky planner allows you to store the shows you wish to watch and play them
back, in any order, at any time to suit you.
Pause and rewind live TV
How annoying is it to sit down to your favourite programme only for the phone
to ring? Stop interruptions from spoiling your viewing with the ability to pause
and rewind live TV.
Auto record favourite series
Don't mess favourite programmes just because the M1 was at a standstill. Auto
record every episode of popular shows which are series linked.
Record two programmes simultaneously
You have a dilema, you're going out for dinner but Spurs are playing on Sky
Sports and you're going to miss it. At the same time your husband wants to record
Malcolm in the Middle on Sky One. Soon you'll be able to record both and watch
them at a later date.
Automatic updates
Isn't it annoying when you buy a new peice of equipemnt, only for a later
model with new features to come out next week? Sky automatically updates your
system via satellite with its latest features, so you'll always keep up with
the Jones'.
One button recording
Didn't know Sex and the City was about to start? Not to worry,
with Sky Plus you simply use the record button to store it, no messing with tapes
and no need to set timers.
Record up to 20 hours of programmes
Sky allows you to store 20 hours of your favourite programmes so there's plenty
of space to keep the whole family happy.
Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound
Get the popcorn, put your feet up and enjoy a movie. Sky is compatible with
most home cinema systems, allowing you to enjoy selected movies in DVD quality
Dolby 5.1 surround sound.
It’s easy to use Sky Plus, the
look and feel is exactly the same as your standard Sky receiver. To record a
program you simply use the TV guide
Your Sky Plus system needs to be installed,
it’s not as
simple as just replacing the receiver. You will need to change the LNB (included)
on the dish, and run an extra cable from the dish to the receiver. This is due
to Sky Plus having two tuners and therefore needing two inputs. We do NOT include
the cable and connectors required, you can purchase these separately for £7.99.
Don't take our word for it - here are some reviews of the
Sky Plus system:
Harpers & Queen October 03
"If late nights at the office mean missing your favourite
programmes, get Sky+"
GQ Magazine June 03
"This is the story of a silver box that sits below my
television and is the sweetest, simplest and most satisfying piece of technology
I have ever owned. It is called Sky+"
Home Entertainment Magazine August 2003
"In short, Sky+ is a super proposition…..this
is a lifestyle-transforming product." Awarded winner and 5 stars in a review
of hard disk recorders.
T3
"Sky keeps adding new features, updating existing boxes
over the air. Last year it was rewinding live TV, and next it’ll be recording
two programmes at one. Nice to see a product that isn’t out of date within
weeks."
