3 tuners
Why don`t sky produce boxes with 3 tuners or even 4? Surely this could be done easily enough? Or am I missing something?

Cost, and no doubt when they decided the original specifications they thought they had enough until Virgin Media showed them the error of their ways ;)

Re: 3 tuners
Isn't there a limit to how many tuners sky can handle due to the LNB on the dish?

Re: 3 tuners
If I'm correct VM V+ has 4 tuners, 2 for recording, 1 for live and 1 for data.
I read hear ages ago they there was a possiblity that the live could become a 3rd recordable. |

Not sure if the Samsung V+HD box could do that |
Re: 3 tuners
My take on it is that Sky aren't bothered quite simply because for the majority of users it makes no difference. It would be very tough to simulate scenarios where a user absolutely can't watch a show due to lack of tuners. I guess live events would be the main issue.

Re: 3 tuners
Thanks for all your input guys. For me I did wonder whether the reason was that Sky like that extra bit of revenue they can squeeze out of customers by getting you to pay an extra £10.25 for multi-room. And don`t forget until recently you had to pay the HD charge per box! I record alot of programs because I work night shift a few times a week or I`m watching the football. I prefer not to use the +1 channels as I feel cheated at not seeing the program in HD. Perhaps we should have HD+1 channels next? Cost I guess would prevent that.

I think it will just go down the route of Anytime+. The more on demand for Sky's content will mean less recording being required.

Re: 3 tuners
I fell that Sky needs to improve is SKY+ HD box because it is falling behind Virgin's TIVO STB
