The service is incredible and enables you to not only record programs and set the digibox to record a whole set of episodes with the press of a button. The digibox provides the opportunity to tape 2 channels at once too so you need never have to choose to view and record what you like. The service is free providing you subscribe to a subscription television service, alternatively you will incur a £10 monthly charge. The digibox itself can be acquired free of charge by changing refer a colleague deals but otherwise is up to £99 depending on the available offers.

Sky HD+

The third Sky box on the market is the Sky High Definition Plus receiver. The Sky high definition digital box is in essence the same as the sky plus digibox but features H.D.M.I. and component output sockets that can be used with the Sky HD channels. The HD digital box is by far the most advanced on the market and costs ten pounds a month for the High Definition channels (called the HD mix) but it is definately by far the greatest picture and sound quality available if you have a High definition TV.

In summary, you will need to decide what suits you, your viewing style and your budget best.
