I take it your looking forward to a multiroom streaming product ? It's all speculation at the moment but I'm sure something will launch this year especially with the VM TIVO one around the corner.

Multiroom and streaming is not something I had needed or thought about before but now as my son is getting bigger I will need to have more tv's around the house.

Streaming would be very useful but it isn't essential. I only record shows I will watch in the same week in HD and stuff I'm interested in watching at some point in the future in SD. So with 1tb I have more space than I could ever need so instead of using mutliple pvrs in the house I could just use one pvr to record and then access that in other rooms.

Look at yous with your 240 hours of space and everything in HD

Sickening.

I know must admit I'm kind of looking forward to that , I'm still going to try and get myself a 1TB multiroom box allowing me extra space.

That is excellent news and a superb tie in from Sky. I'm really looking forward to seeing Senna on Sky Movies also. All in all, can't wait for the new F1 season to start.

Sky Sports News to offer 'ultimate F1 news service'

Quote:

Backing up the channel's coverage, Sky Sports News will broadcast on-site from every 2012 Grand Prix for six days, rather than the usual four days of coverage.

The channel will have two dedicated F1 presenters - Rachel Brookes and Craig Slater - who will be among the teams during the 'test season', providing breaking news stories and analysis.

Brooks and Slater will produce six days of coverage for all the 20 Grand Prix, starting each Tuesday with build-up and extending through the week to "post-race reaction".

All the coverage will be made available on the recently-launched Sky Sports News iPad app via a dedicated F1 section.

It says it is on Sky 1 so Sky aren't going to be the only platform showing this?

Badly worded I think it's meaning its not on another UK channel rather than platform.

Oh ok. Its just that they also mention Boardwalk Empire too so seemed a bit strange.

I was thinking with Diva TV set to close next month maybe NBCU will launch Kids Co. on Sky (with their Diva TV Sky slot).

You always get the Sky Premiere HD movies in your showcase on a Friday morning , I have Pirates of the Carribean On stranger tides in HD but also appear to have it in 3D so may don the bins tonight
