Thomson DSI 8215 writeup and specs: The Thomson DSI 8215 HD has a 160gb hard drive and is specially designed for all Skys UK digital satellite services. It has a very sensitive tuner and is the ideal choice for weaker signal areas.
HDTV offers a steep change in picture quality, delivering a home viewing experience similar to that offered in cinemas. Viewers will see greater depth and tone of colours and textures. The improved clarity of HDTV broadcasts will bring an even greater sense of excitement and drama to a wide range of programme genres. HDTV can provide more than four times more data on a display screen than a Standard Definition broadcast. This is because of the increased picture resolution that HD broadcasts deliver and HD display devices will be able to receive.
This digibox brings you a cinema like experience with sharper, clearer, more vibrant pictures and amazing Dolby Digital 5.1 sound quality. Also including a 160GB hard drive allowing you to record approximately 150 hours of digital TV.
To watch HD, you must have a HD-ready or compatible TV and a Sky subscription (£10 p/month in addition to monthly subscription costs). You can opt out of the £10 per month payment if you do not require the full HD subscription channels, in this case you would still be able to watch the other free channels including BBC HD.
Please note that a SkyHDdigibox requires two separate cable connections from your satellite dish. This means that your dish needs to be fitted with either a Twin or a Quad LNB. If the LNB on your dish only has one output port on it then you will have to upgrade your LNB.
It is possible to upgrade the hard disk drive for larger capacity and to provide more recording hours.
This box does will work with the Sky Anytime TV service.
