Re: New Sky HD server

["kw1816" <kw1816@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oh blimey - I'd just talked the missus into going for Sky HD. How am I
going to explain this one :-)

Joking asise, looks like it could be promising but lots will depend on
price for the unit and, probably inevitably knowing Sky, the increased
subscription. Mind you, I put in a loftbox based RF distribution
system as a temporary solution in our house as I couldn't find a
distribution system that did what I wanted at the time.

2 years later we're still using it to distribute Sky, Sky+, a third
Sky box dedicated to radio channels and MP3 (with Mainlobby info
screen ) playback via a modulator from my media server. Although we
don't have any big screens (largest is 23" LCD) being fed from it I'm
struggling to convince myself that I need to spend a fortune upgrading
it !
