Sky+, or Sky Plus, is a personal video recorder (PVR) service for Sky Digital, and is very similar - in principle - to the TiVo service (which is no longer sold in the UK due to Sky+ dominating the market). Launched in September 2001, Sky+ allows the user to record, pause and instantly rewind live TV. The system performs these functions using an internal hard drive inside the Sky+ set top box.

dbpprop:abstract
  • Sky+, or Sky Plus, is a personal video recorder (PVR) service for Sky Digital, and is very similar - in principle - to the TiVo service (which is no longer sold in the UK due to Sky+ dominating the market). Launched in September 2001, Sky+ allows the user to record, pause and instantly rewind live TV. The system performs these functions using an internal hard drive inside the Sky+ set top box. Its chief competitors in the UK market are the Freeview+ PVR, BT Vision, and Virgin Media's V+, which has 3 tuners, a 160 GB hard drive and HDMI output. In the Republic of Ireland, Sky+ competes with UPC's Digital+ box which offers 160GB or 250GB of storage. Sky reported in February 2008 that over 3 million households now have a Sky+ box. The £10 per month subscription fee was discontinued for subscribers from 1 July 2007, but will continue for Freesat from Sky use.
  • Gli Sky+ sono decoder digitali satellitari ad elevate prestazioni utilizzati dalla compagnia inglese BSKYB. Offrono la possibilità di essere utilizzati in modalità PVR, permettendo la registrazione di fino a due trasmissioni televisive in contemporanea, in formato digitale. In Italia il corrispondente apparato si chiama MySky. Alcune caratteristiche di questo decoder sono: Dimensioni: 380mm x 72mm x 243mm Uscite TV: S-Video e 2 SCART Uscite Audio: 2 connettori e supporto per impianti audio 5.1 Memoria interna: 160-250GB Servizio di broadcast di contenuti a scelta dell'utente. I decoder Sky+ inglesi non hanno moltissime differenze, ma posseggono un software e un hard disk interno certamente migliori, visto che il servizio è da loro esistente da diversi anni. I decoder Sky+ e MySky sono entrambi offerti in noleggio con un supplemento sul normale canone d'abbonamento.
