The Amstrad DRX890
(PVR5) is the latest Sky+HD Digibox to the market.
It's design matches the existing HD models except
for being slightly smaller, with its dark black
curved shape and matching remote. The unit
contains the larger *500GB capacity hard drive for
recording even more of your favourite programmes
with Sky+ (Sky+ requires an active subscription to
Sky), allowing you to record up to 185 hours of SD
and 60 hours of HD. *250GB personal storage; the
remaining 250GB is retained by Sky for
Anytime/VOD/3D services. The High Definition television gives you up to
5 times the picture sharpness & quality of normal
television. You will experience lifelike images so
real it's like your television is a crystal clear
window on the world. this decoder is 3D
capable and I can say it is a television
revolution that will be bigger then the transition
from black & white to color possibly even the
creation of TV itself.
To get the full
benefit of this technology your TV screen must be a
digital one, having a resolution of minimum 1920 x
1080 pixels and accepting digital video flux via a
HDMI port in 3D format.
This brand new latest version
Amstrad Sky High Definition Digibox can be used
with an existing Sky Subscription card, to benefit
from the Sky+ functionality, or subscription HD
channels (HD Mix). Alternatively without a card
you can still receive all free HD channels, such
as BBC HD, ITV1 HD, Luxe HD and C4 HD (C4 HD
currently requires a Sky FTV card). You are under no
obligation to take out a subscription, or HD Mix
(£10 per month) with this purchase, as you are
buying from us a non-subsidised digibox.
Please note that the Sky+ record functionality is
free, but only available to those with a new or
existing Sky subscription. You cannot use the
Sky+ record functionality without a subscription,
starting from £18.00 per month (this also
applies to recording free channels; this is not
possible without a subscription to Sky).The recording function requires two cables
run from the dish and a TWIN LNB/feed. ( can work on
a single coax but you are limited in your recordings
to one channel at a time ! ) Existing dishes can be re-used for HD. Our
team of experienced engineers will connect it for
you, program and tune it for safe and trouble-free
operation.
NB - This Sky+ HD digibox can be
used with or without the HD pack from Sky. Without,
this digibox can be used to access BBC HD, ITV1 HD,
Luxe HD and C4 HD.With the
Sky HD pack, you will gain access to more HD
channels as part of the subscription package you
have with Sky. Please note that by subscribing to
the HD pack channels, you pay Sky £10/month.
