4 tuner sky box coming? - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

One of the lads over on the DS forum has posted some info that sky will be producing a 4 tuner digibox in the near future. No other info currently avaiable, but the info he supplies is normally fairly reliable.

I have to ask WHY?? What use is a 4 tuner receiver to anyone. You would have to be a serious tv viewer with some pretty dodgy tastes in channels to find 4 programmes on you want to watch or record at the same time. And most of the output is repeated on the +1 or the other channels on the networks within a few days

Mmm, have to agree that 4 is a little excessive. Now if one was DTT and one cable, it would be a Dreambox DM8000!
