Whatever Sky do with regards to some enhanced features the horse has already bolted and Skys biggest mistake was breaking their ties with TiVo and now all they have got is a third rate box that even with updates will always lag some way behind Virgin's TiVo.:)

Really the only HD channel l want is Sky Atlantic because apart from Sky's HD offering is not that special.:)

Re: Which Sky Atlantic Show
 

Not many people would call it third rate. It has reliable PVR functionality, Dynamic EPG and remote record which is what most people actually want from an STB.

Re: Which Sky Atlantic Show
 

Hence why the software behind it is in over 40 million homes. :)

Re: Which Sky Atlantic Show
 

Plus its been around in the UK for over 10 years and still isn't the market leader and now probably never will be.

Re: Which Sky Atlantic Show
 

40 million homes maybe but some way behind the TiVo software MM.:)

Re: Which Sky Atlantic Show
 

Aside from 3 tuners what mass market features are they Den ?

So enlighten us , we're all ears.

Re: Which Sky Atlantic Show
 

Better GUI
Multistream functionality soon
Superior VOD
Search and Wishlists functions
Apps
Far superior EPG
Just basically a far more polished and greater user experience then Skys offering.

Re: Which Sky Atlantic Show
 

How is the EPG better? Its not dynamic.

Re: Which Sky Atlantic Show
 

In your opinion maybe , certainly not mine.

Re: Which Sky Atlantic Show
 

It seems a case of you clutching at straws again Lex.:)

Re: Which Sky Atlantic Show
 

Not really. In an earlier post you spoke about Tivo and then said you would like Atlantic HD. To me that seems likr clutching at straws as STB over content makes no sense to me.

As for your list, didn't make sense to me. Not sure why pointing out dynamic epg is clutching at straws. We are talking about two PVRs and it is FACT that the one with dynamic epg has a bettet chance of reliable PVR functionality.

Not also sure how you came to better GUI and 'polished'. Sky+HD is much faster than TIvo which forms a huge part of the GUI experience. Its difficult for a PVR to be polished when it is slow to respond.

All i need to say is above in bold

Re: Which Sky Atlantic Show
 

I personally don't get the comment about VOD. On Sky Anytime I have watched S1 of The Borgias and Boardwalk Empire among other shows and if that is not quality then I don't know what is. Plus on Sky you can download the show to watch at anytime in the futureso to me that is much more useful than having to rush through shows like on VM that expire.

Anyway, isn't this Sky VOD not the same VOD that users in the VM section were complaining about not having before it arrived on VM?
