Samsung HDSKY Sky+ HD Digibox (300GB)

All digiboxes are brand new, come complete with 12 months warranty (supplied by us) and instructions on how to pair your existing Sky viewing card (if applicable)

The Samsung HDSKY Sky HD Digibox (PVR4) is one of a new generation of Sky+HD Digibox; offering a much more reliable and usable unit than the original Thomson Sky HD Digibox. This digibox is highly recommended for picture and sound quality as well as reliability to enjoy the very best of Sky television, both in standard and high-definition, this is a digibox worth considering as 'almost' on a par with the Pace Sky HD Digibox; though we'd still recommend the Pace as the best.

The Samsung HDSKY Sky+ HD Digibox design matches the existing HD models, with its dark black curved shape and matching remote. The unit contains the same *300gb capacity hard drive for recording all your favourite programmes with Sky+ (Sky+ requires an active subscription to Sky), allowing you to record approx. 150 hours of digital TV.

*160gb personal space

This brand new latest version Samsung Sky High Definition Digibox can be used with an existing Sky Subscription card, to benefit from the Sky+ functionality, or subscription HD channels (HD Mix). Alternatively without a card you can still receive all free HD channels, such as BBC HD, Luxe HD and C4 HD (C4 HD currently requires a Sky FTV card). You are under no obligation to take out a subscription, or HD Mix (£9.75 per month) with this purchase, as you are buying from us a non-subsidised digibox.

Please note that the Sky+ record functionality is free, but only available to those with a new or existing Sky subscription. You cannot use the Sky+ record functionality without a subscription, starting from £17.50 per month (this also applies to recording free channels; this is not possible without a subscription to Sky).

Bought my Samsung HD box from Satbuyer a few weeks ago - delivery excellent - came in just 2 working days. The box is easy to set up and comes with full instructions on pairing your existing Sky card. So far I've had no problems with this box. Definitely recommended.

Keith, the SATA connector on all Sky HD Digiboxes are not used, they are supposedly for future use by Sky.

Brilliant box everything worked out of the box. I have seen some bullitn board with stuff about upgrading the internel hard drive but notice that there is a SATA connecter on the box. Can this be used to record to or is it for copying recordings to a SATA external drive?
