While it being a basic TV set top box, it does allow you to watch your preferred TV package and contains an electronic TV guide which you can personalize along with a parental control feature which puts your mind at ease whilst your children watch Television.

A slightly better TV box is offered in the form of Sky Plus Box which is at present offered free but a standard set up fee of £30 is charged or if taken with Sky Multiroom, you will need to pay £199. Indeed, the Sky+ Box provides you much more convenience an ease in viewing your Television as you can not only see what you choose from the varied Sky TV Offers, contains the parental control feature and at the same time you can record quite a few TV programmes or even an entire series you wish to follow. At the same time, if you wish you can also remotely record a particular programme through your mobile phone or online at sky.com. In case of interruptions, you can always pause and rewind Live TV so that you do not miss a single moment of your favorite show. With sound streaming from the Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound, there is nothing that will stop you from enjoying your TV watching session.

Finally, the best of all the Sky box offers is the Sky HD offers which airs programmes in High Definition quality implying four times better clarity and vibrancy in picture quality along with Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound, it would be the best TV watching experience you have ever had till now. Well, it does cost £49 while its set up cost is waived off implying a great deal while you have nothing to miss except the choice of 33 High Definition TV channels, the widest choice in entire UK.
