The Sky Box
The original digital box that Sky provide is the simple digibox. This original digital box will allow you access to all the Sky programmes (except HD programmes) and all the normal interactive services.
Sky +
The second box that Sky offer is the Sky+ digibox. The Sky+ digibox is a receiver that includes a hard-disk so you can record your favourite Sky content with the press of a remote. The service is fantastic and allows you to not only tape programs but set the digibox to record a whole series with the touch of a button. The receiver provides the facility to tape two channels at once too so you will never have to choose to watch and tape what you like. The service is free providing you take up a subscription television package, otherwise you will incur a ten pound monthly cost. The receiver itself can be attained free of charge by changing refer a friend offers but otherwise is up to £99 depending on current deals.
Sky HD
The final Sky receiver on the market is the Sky High Definition digibox. The Sky HD digital box is in essence similar to the sky plus digital box but features H.D.M.I. and component outputs that can be used with Sky or 3rd party High Definition channels. This HD receiver is by far the most impressive available and costs ten pounds monthly for the HD channels (called the High Definition mix) but it is also by far the finest picture and audio quality available if you have a High definition TV.
In summary, you will need to decide what meets you, your viewing style and your money best.
