Choices come in threes

The Sky Box

The service is incredible and enables you to both record programs but set the machine to record a whole series with the touch of a button. The digibox provides the facility to record 2 programs at once too so you will never struggle to watch and tape what you like. The service is free providing you take up a subscription TV package, otherwise you will incur a £10 monthly cost. The digibox itself can be attained free of charge by changing recommend a colleague offers but otherwise is priced at £99 depending on the available deals.
Sky HD+
The final Sky box on the market is the Sky HD digital box. The Sky HD digibox is very similar to the Sky+ digital box except features H.D.M.I. and component outputs that can be used with Sky or 3rd party High Definition channels. This high definition digibox is by far the most impressive on the market and you will pay £10 monthly for the HD channels (called the HD mix) but it is definately by a mile the best picture and sound quality available if you have a High definition television.
Overall, you will need to decide what meets you, your viewing habits and your budget best.
