Sky Digiboxes Available

February 14, 2010

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

February 1, 2010

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 [...]

It would seem, although only a assumption by the Sky community, that the potential risk resulting in a mass Pace [...]

Buy New, Expect New

January 26, 2009

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

November 3, 2008

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.
