What is Sky+? |
| Sky+ is a
satellite receiver and personal television recorder (PTR) in one. Sky+
Gives you the freedom to easily plan and record programmes for days
ahead, in a matter of minutes, freeze live programmes and rewind to
watch the start of a programme that you might have missed. Record one
satellite channel while watching another. |
|
Record without a video
- No timers, no tapes. Sky+
records an average of 20 hours on its internal hard drive. |
|
Pause live TV
- Just pause whatever you're watching, you can even fast forward to
catch up with live TV. |
|
Instant rewind - Sky+ allows you to
rewind the programme you are watching - so if you come in half way
through a programme, you will be able to rewind and watch it from the
start without missing the beginning. |
