A finely tuned work-life balance, a hectic lifestyle or just a penchant for watching what you want when you want are all good reasons to favour the advance of on demand television in recent years, but now with HD soon to become the norm, the television tides are changing once more. For the better too. Though there are now a handful of home media providers offering everything from super fast broadband to free landline calls, perhaps none of them offer a television experience quite like Sky.
With the only recently released Sky+ box still a popular choice for optimum domestic entertainment, Sky upped the stakes again by offering Sky+ HD, which promised all of the features that the original had but with added high definition, for a crystal clear experience at all times. However, now its big brother has arrived; introducing the Sky+HD 1TB. Whereas the original box offered viewers the chance to pause and rewind live television, record whole series with the touch of a button and store up to 185 hours of recorded television, and the Sky+HD offered all of this plus access to up to 38 HD channels plus up to five times more picture details, the Sky+HD 1TB is the must-have solution for any avid TV fan.
Offering what is undoubtedly the most storage of any digital television recording box, the Sky+ HD 1TB sports a massive 1 terabyte of storage space, or enough for over 100 of your favourite movies or 240 hours of glossy high definition television, which is four times more than the current Sky+HD box. In addition to this, the increased memory size for Sky Anytime also allows users to watch up to 100 hours of on demand HD television too, giving you far more choice in how you are entertained.
When it comes to movies though, the rip-roaring success of James Cameron's Avatar may hint at the direction movie-making is going in: 3D. Fear not though, as the new HD 1TB box is fully future-proofed to handle not only 3D, but also video on demand television, both of which are due to arrive later in 2010.
For those that like their entertainment crystal clear and in booming surround sound, this new development for Sky couldn't be better, especially thanks to the increased storage size, which is more than enough to handle HD content. So whether you want to record whole series' of HD on demand television, and never miss an episode of Lost again, or store your must-have movies or award-winning documentaries in high-definition, this box is the perfect accompaniment to modern television. And, with Sky's next range of developments already taken care of, you will be hard pushed to find a television box to match the HD 1TB box for years to come.
