It added that the number of entertainment shows with an audience of more than 1 million has risen 200% during the last two years.

New products announced included a WiFi enabled Sky HD box launching in September and the much rumored Now TV set top box, available for £9.99 from today.

20 new channels will be added to On Demand catch up and ten new channels will be added to Sky Go
Is this right ?

10 million+ TV customers and only 2.7 M HD boxes?

How long have these been available ? 7/8 years?
