Sky Digiboxes Available
With all the changes made recently by Sky, we have been asked a few times what make/models of Sky digibox still existing, so we thought we’d list them for you. Don’t forget that Sky treat all digiboxes the same, so if you are signing up and upgrading, there is little point asking Sky for a [...]
Sky+HD the only choice
Go to deal Sky made a significant change to their line-up the other day; they have decided to make the Sky+HD Digibox their priority and offer it as the only option for new and existing customers, with the standard box only available to Sky Multiroom and the Sky+ box discontinued. This clearly shows the future [...]
Sky set to launch 500GB HD Digibox
It has been confirmed that over the next month or two Sky will replace the current 300GB model with the new 500GB version. Initially the makes will be Amstrad (DRX890) and Samsung (Samsung 500).

Pace fault discovered
Although no official word has come from a tight lipped Sky/Pace, it seems from new Pace boxes coming onto the market that the revision is a couple of cable ties holding some cables in place. It would seem, although only a assumption by the Sky community, that the potential risk resulting in a mass Pace [...]

Following on from our previous post regarding the possible recall of all Pace Sky+HD Digiboxes, we can confirm that Sky have issued the following statement: We are providing a free replacement Sky+HD box to customers who have one from the first batch of boxes supplied by Pace. The reason for the swap is that Pace [...]
Rumours of a Pace Sky+HD recall
There are presently rumours surrounding the Sky forums suggesting that Sky are issuing a recall on all Pace Sky+HD Digiboxes sold since their launch in August 2008. There is expecting to be a potential 90,000 boxes requiring this recall, although details on the reason why are still unclear. A number of forum members have said [...]
Buy New, Expect New
It has become apparent over the past few months that some of you have been receiving second hand reconditioned Sky+HD Digiboxes when you have in fact purchased new. This all stems from November 2008 when Sky somehow managed to run out of supply of new Sky+HD Digiboxes, even though they had a number of manufacturers [...]
Amstrad Sky+HD Digibox is coming
We all thought that the acquisition from Sky of Amstrad would mean only one thing, a dominant manufacturer in the production and sale of Sky Digiboxes. That hasn’t been the case to date, with no increase in product for Amstrad’s existing Sky and Sky+ models, and no introduction of a Sky+HD Digibox. Until now! Amstrad [...]
