HDTVUK has posted a comment on Amstrad's recent finfnacial report, which indicates that Alan Sugar's successful eletronics firm is currently developing HD PVR boxes for BSkyB's Sky+ service.Of course, this is nothing new; Amstad already makes the ordinary Sky satellite boxes for BSkyB, and apparently these new HD boxes won't be available until 2007 due to some development delays on Amstrad's part.
So, does this mean the boxes old Alan's company are making will be higher capacity than the current Thomson HD Sky+ boxes? Who knows...
One thing is for sure, they can only be better than the flaky Thomsons. I'm on my second Thomson box this year, and it started flaking out on me last week, although, Sky technical services now claim to have moved me on to a stronger bandwidth signal from the Astra satellite to try and improve things.
We'll see.
