xarqi: I just noticed something else here: what's a "freeview only sky subscription"? It sounds interesting to me - if I could get just the FTA stuff off Sky (in HD where available) for a nominal cost, I'd probably sign up. I can't see anything on the Sky website though. Any links?
Keeping in mind that *I'm STILL waiting for mine*, everything I've read in the main Vu+ forums indicates that the number of concurrent recording sessions possible depends on hard disc throughput and available tuners. You couldn't, for instance, record things off three transponders/polarities concurrently, but if everything you want is coming off just two, it comes down to disc speed. There is no built-in limit.
there is an extension called vlc player which should allow playing of these files from a pc via a network connection . it will play divX avi from a external drive .
with this box watching sky channels with a blue card is a given but! will a blue card from a non mysky account allow watching of tv one, tv2 and tv3 hd ? . i think so . this also means that the $18.29 basic free view only subscription with the mini Pace box will allow watching 1.2& 3 hd on the vu+ duo . i have a multi room decoder ( pace ) and that card works in my Duo . so for people who cant get dtt ie nelson, there is now a satellite option for tv1,2, & 3 in hd .
I haven't seen a definitive answer. Grant K explored a bit above and concluded that there was no HD said to be available on the $19 plan (nor TVNZ6/7). The Sky site is fairly opaque when it comes to detail. Try to find a list of channels available on each plan! All I could find was a bunch of miniscule logos.
But I digress.
I think what we need is for someone to experiment and report back.
