The Sky HD Box made by Thompson uses DVB-S2 modulation and MPEG-4/H.264 AVC compression codec with videogarde encryption. 1080i/25 and 720p/50 will be the supported display standards. It has video output via a single HDMI socket and analogue component video. The component video will allow HD output which is not copy protected, so the older non HD Ready HDTVs sets should be able to view HD video. The box has a 160 GB Hard Drive available for about 30 hours of HD recording if you have the Sky+ subscription. It will also be possible to run a second TV from the box in standard definition. The Sky HD box comes with a new remote control.
