There will always be a place for both PB as STB PVRs will still be around for a long while yet.

Better to be a unbeliever rather then convince yourself that something is going to take over the world.

The Sky add says something like 'Time to set your TV free'.

It's hardly 'free' being tied to a traditional PVR.

If it is a 4k box, Sky should be had-up for false advertising

Like the EE TV box, Sky's player will also share broadcasts across smartphones and tablets, as families increasingly shift towards smaller screens.
