As a provider supplied product, users have no choice but to use this box if they want to receive Sky HD. The box has generally proven to be unreliable. I have had numerous problems with mine, such as recordings failing due with "no signal" errors, freezes, slow EPG browsing and more. A common... Read the full review →

Simply the best way to view television (certainly in the UK, and from my experience better than what the US networks have to offer). A great product, now in HD. Read the full review →

good content, plenty of channels, recording is simple and allows for you to record 2 channels at once. pretty robust library of on demand content. but there networking and interent connectivity is little to none in terms of features. Read the full review →

Upgraded hard drive to 1TB myself, as existing hard drive way to small especially for HD content. Also had to sort out power supply due to bad capacitors. I replaced all electrolytic capacitors which dealt with many crashes and problems with LNB. Read the full review →
