The Thomson Sky HD box contains
the Sky+PVR functions which will enable you to record, rewind and pause
live broadcasts. The output video will be via standard component
analogue output, HDMI and DVI, these choices have been added to the HD
box to ensure compatibility with all TV's even those without the
HD-ready specification.
Sky's HD channels will be broadcast in either 720p for progressively
scanned picture or 1080i for interlaced picture. The box allows you to
select between 720p / 1080i / Auto, the general opinion is that the
pictures look slightly better in 1080i, all channels are encoded by Sky
in Mpeg4 before broadcast.
