Do Sky pay you for this?

Thank you, Richard. I was beginning to wonder whether the "Penny would
drop" regarding this spam posting. :-) They can be a little slow witted
sometimes in this NG.

The penny dropped with me when I read the post an hour or two after
the it was made, and I noticed the IP address looks like it might
belong to a Californian based re-mailer.

The other posts in this group by sintv seem
genuine enough, and appear to come from a Plusnet customer who changed
from TalkTalk a couple of years ago, and occasionly posts via an EE
mobile IP.
His/her last post was 24 Jan.

Well finally the wait is over. Sky today have released details of their new Sky Q box. We always new Sky would have something good up their sleeve and they havn't disappointed us. This new set top box looks quite something with a whopping 12 tuners means you can record up to four channels simultaneously, while still watching a fifth channel live. So never again have you not enough space and the fact that it can be streamed round the house using your own electricity wires to up to two other Sky Q mini boxes keeping everybody happy in the home. The fact that Sky use satellite unlike BT who use your broadband to stream 4K makes it open to anyone in the UK and Ireland no matter how remote you are.

The system is based on the notion of 'fluid viewing', so that customers can watch programmes across a number of screens - for example, pausing a show in one room, then watching it in another.

Customers will also be able to download programmes to their tablet, to watch on the go and you won't need to be online or have WiFi.

Interactive apps including YouTube and Vevo will also be available through the system. As well as a YouTube app, Sky Q will let you play music through your TV. Apple's AirPlay and Spotify will both be supported.

With Sky Q, Sky has given its TV interface a sorely needed lick of paint. Alongside a fully fledged TV guide, programming is organised into tabs such as Catch Up TV, Top Picks and Box Sets. Meanwhile a new Continue tab collects programmes that you're halfway through, to quickly get back into your shows.

This isnt a spam posting..I just copied it from an email I received. Sorry if you dont like the information

With my box I can record 6+ channels simultaneously whilst watching a
7th (live or recorded)

With my MediaPortal/Argus set up I once got 32 channels recording at once
across 4 tuners. It was purely a stress test but it coped just fine.


The 6+ is conservative, my box will record more at the same time (4 tuners).

Half a decade ago a Topfield PVR could record a complete Freeview MUX
at a time.


I used to have, possibly still do somewhere, a Nebula DigiTV card.

That could record a whole Mux, and convert a VCR recording to digital.

It was also the first device to feature Audio Description.
