Sky+
 

Sky+ can be installed as a new or existing customer. This requires two cable feeds from the Sky dish to the Digibox, as the box needs two separate feeds to allow simultaneous viewing and recording of different channels. The Sky+ box must also be connected to a UK phone line.

Sky+ offers a better experience for Sky customers. You get a more powerful set-top box, that allows you to watch one satellite channel while recording another satellite channel, record programmes without videotape, record two different channels at the same time, and pause/rewind live TV, for instance when the phone rings or the doorbell goes.

It also has a feature called 'Series link', which automatically records episodes of your favourite series, keeping track of schedule changes. Exceptionally versatile, and highly recommended, the hype says that this will change the way you watch TV, and for once, it's not wrong!

All of the above features are free if you subscribe to any of the 'Sky World' packages ('Sky World', 'Sky Sports World' or 'Sky Movie World'). If you subscribe to any package below this then Sky charge £10 a month for the recording facility.

Installation price for Sky+ varies dependant on whether you are an existing Sky customer or not. Please contact us for further details info@horizonsatellites.co.uk or 08000 681 681
