Sky +for those who dont know is Set Top Box for the Sky Digital platform in UK.
Sky Digital is market leader in digital TV by some margen. Well I have it and love it how TV should be.
Sky + has nothing to do with BSkyB (Sky Digial platform runer) it is system by Pace, In fact Pace get large cunk of subs people pay to be able to use the serrvice of Sky+.
Tivo have one great problem when being rival to something like Sky+. As Tivo has to compress the image so it can save it. Whilsed Sky + dosn't do this as it just save's an copy of data stream of video which is being tranismited. So it isn't seconed generation copy being view in playback latter on unlike in Tivo.
In other words Tivo is just an Dodo next Sky+ due fact of how works. Also Tivo can not get up minute updates in programing unlike Sky as system is update live ever seconed by Sky on there satellites. That dosn't mean that times arealways correct thow .
Sky Digial is a good product, Sky+ is just great product made better then before!
