For my 2p worth...

Tivo recorded Shrek for me before Christmas in best quality. Viewed
through my 42" Plasma I though the picture was VERY acceptable. No not
DVD, but very high quality.

My only reason for considering Sky+ is its ability to receive Dolby 5.1.
Any one know if the standard boxes will have this capability in due
course?

Many thanks
