Missed Something But Don't Mind... Rewind

Undoubtedly one of the most impressive, and frankly useful, Sky TV offers includes the brilliant Sky +. Sky + allows the television watcher to pause live TV if someone knocks at the door or calls you and allows you to hit play whenever you like to instantly begin catching up with what you normally would have missed. Pretty handy. Sky + also has a hard drive built in which allows the user to record all of their favourite shows straight into the memory of the box. This recording option also allows the watcher to create a 'series link', where all programs in the series will be recorded automatically when they are aired, without the user having to specify what they want to record. The hard drive inside the Sky + box is huge and would comfortably accommodate dozens of films as well as numerous TV shows. Imagine being able to relive a historic TV moment any time you like, you can even relive it in slow motion if you so wish.

I Can See Clearly Now HD Has Come

The two main benefits of high definition are:
Crystal clear picture quality on HD ready TV's.
Sharper ...
... sound quality.

The difference between high definition and standard definition is truly starling. It's like night and day. Remember the first time you watched a DVD instead of watching a VHS? OK it's not quite as drastic as that but you get what I'm saying. The best types of shows to watch in HD have got to be nature programs. Never before has a frog been so green or a whale so huge. Sky Offers all of the benefits just described with HD as well as having all of the elements of Sky + built in too. Sounds good. Only recently has the Sky HD box really become affordable in relation to the other Sky packages that were available. For a long time after coming out, Sky HD was extremely expensive, probably because not many people had HD televisions when it first came out. But nowadays, customers don't have to pay much more for Sky HD over regular Sky + which is good news in the wallet department for all of us who want the sharpest of the sharp.

There is also standard Sky television, which offers you all the benefits of having satellite channels without having to pay extra for all the fancy stuff. This is ideal for customers on a budget or those who are generally not fussed about seeing every single crease on Gordon Ramsay's legendary forehead. Whatever your needs though, there is a Sky package for you. For the casual watcher its standard Sky. For the person who refuses to miss a second of Big Brother then Sky + is the only choice. But if you want to go all out and enjoy every episode of CSI in gloriously gory detail it simply has to be Sky HD.
