I love my Sky HD box - a relatively recent purchase. True, I have already recorded way more stuff than I could ever watch but thanks to the handy Series Link function, I never have to miss another episode of my favourite programmes.
Even the tiny bit of HD programming available is nice to watch, if only to make me realise why I bought a HDTV.
I’m only sorry I didn’t hold out a little longer for one of these babies. Meet Sky’s first pimped Sky HD boxes or, as the official name goes: The Sky HD Designer Collection. There are five to choose from, designed by the likes of Jonathan Saunders, Basso & Brooke and Giles Deacon , to name a few, and they range in cost from £199-£299, as long as you subscribe to some form of HD package, which starts at £10 per month.
Otherwise, it’s £399 a pop for your designer gadget fix. Jump to see another.-Martin Lynch

You cant honestly say you like any of these?
I would have preferred they ignore the designer gunk and gave us the option of a larger internal hardrive or better cooling - the bottom of my sky hd box is like a furnace!!
Hey - what can I say Pat? I kinda like the metallic Giles Deacon one and even that psychotic checkers one has some, abstract appeal. Of course, it helps that they don't cost more than the plain black one.
