Sky has introduced catch-up TV but isn't currently offering BBC iPlayer, which is apparently "coming soon", or 4oD (coming 2013), and doesn't integrate them into the electronic programme guide (EPG), meaning you have to find each catch-up provider's separate app before seeing what historic content is available. My Sky+ HD box also provides some free HD channels – BBC HD and ITV HD etc.
So not the easiest set-up given I had to select a date for an engineer to visit, then make sure someone was home when he came.Ĭontent I have the no-frills Sky Entertainment package which includes Sky 1, Sky Atlantic, Sky Arts and a handful of more obscure channels such as Syfy, Comedy Central and Dmax, as well as all the usual Freeview channels and an endless parade of food, shopping, lifestyle and "+1" channels. Installation I tested Sky+ and YouView in a single room scenario rather than attempt a complicated multi-room set-up, mainly to make my life easier.īoth have similar cable requirements: a HDMI cable links the box to the TV and an ethernet connection links it to a broadband router, allowing you to download/stream free and paid-for content.īut the Sky+ set-up had to be installed for me by an engineer because it required a dish on the side of my house.
Also, if you would like to be a reviewer please email Sky+ Tell us what you think, ask any questions users may be able to answer, and tell us which services or goods you would like us to review in future weeks – it could be anything from train services to Christmas crackers. To start things off we are testing the YouView set-top box and Sky+. Between us we can hopefully work out which is the best buy and inform wavering consumers which to go for.
