SKY Television launches its latest personal video recorder ‘MY SKY+’ with four times the recording capacity of MY SKY HDi.

While the MY SKY HDi decoder will still be available, from July 1 SKY subscribers will have the option of taking MY SKY+ for a one off joining fee of $649 or a subscription of $20 per month, plus a $99 joining fee.

SKY Television’s Director of Marketing, Michael Watson said “The launch of MY SKY has been a phenomenal success. The reason it has proven so popular with our customers is because it delivers so many real benefits and has truly changed the way many people watch television. Our customer feedback and research told us that a considerable number of MY SKY users desired more personal recording capacity. This need is likely to increase with the growing prevalence of high definition shows. We developed MY SKY+  to deliver that additional recording space, with four times more capacity but still with all the MY SKY HDi features users are accustomed to”, he said.

MY SKY+ is on sale from July 1. Existing SKY subscribers can choose to upgrade their existing MY SKY HDi decoder to MY SKY+.
