Digital Spy Forums - Sky plus monthly fee. I suspect that SKY+ will eventually be free with any SKY channel package and the quicker they bring this out the better and leave HD recording of the FTA channels to Freeview hardware. I can understand people cancelling a channel package but having used SKY+ for nearly three years (Two of which paying £10 a month) I can not understand why anyone would willingly lose HD recording of SKY programming SKY will not waive the £10 fee on the Family package, you could choose to downgrade to SKYmovies or SKYsports or a mixture and still qualify for the "free" SKY+ sub. forum.digitalspy.co.uk /board/showthread.php?t=136717   (1929 words)

Sky Digital (UK) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Dedicated High Definition Televison Movie Channels showing same content as Sky Movies 9 and 10 but in HD Sky News Sky Digital's broadcasts are in DVB-compliant MPEG-2, with the Sky Movies and Sky Box Office channels including optional Dolby Digital soundtracks for recent films, although these are only accessible with a Sky+ box. Sky Digital is the brand name for British Sky Broadcasting's digital satellite television service, transmitted from SES Astra satellites located at 28.2°E and Eutelsat's Eurobird 1 satellite at 28.5°E. BSkyB's analogue broadcasts ceased in 2001, so the service is now more commonly marketed as just Sky. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sky_Digital_(UK)   (1140 words)

Tech Digest: Satellite TV Sky estimates that almost two million HD TVs will have been sold in the UK by the end of 2006. Sky did say that the front one is for connection to a PVP type device which it may or may not launch one day, while the rear one might be for those who never leave their sofa and fancy upping the 160 Gig storage by adding an external hard disk. Sky+ viewers who have connected a TV in a another room via TV Link will now be able to change the picture setting (to 4:3 or 16:9) for TVs in a second room that are connected via a TV Link. techdigestuk.typepad.com /tech_digest/satellite_tv   (6710 words)

Space Photos » HD 188753 A Jupiter-class planet orbiting a triple-star system known as HD 188753 was found, according to a report In the July 14 issue of Nature. And it would be yellow, because the main star of HD 188753 is very similar to our own sun. In fact, the sun that the planet orbits would be a very large object in the sky indeed, given that the planet’s “year&; is only three and a half days long. jtintle.wordpress.com /tag/hd-188753   (186 words)

ESPs: California Scientist Discovers First Extrasolar Planet Under Three Suns - Planetary News The Planetary Society The main star of HD 188753, which is similar to our own Sun, would be yellow and appear as a very large object in the sky since the planet's "year" is only three-and-a-half days long, Konacki pointed out. In the case of HD 188753, the two stellar companions would truncate the disk around the main star to a radius of only 1.3 AU, leaving, essentially, no space for a planet to form. Hence, I suspect that HD 188753's planet probably formed via a rapid formation process, before the multiple system evolved to its present state, and that seems to imply disk instability was at work. planetary.org /news/2005/0714_ESPs_California_Scientist_Discovers.html   (1514 words)

Extrasolar planet search Mayor announced in February 1999 the detection of an extrasolar planetary candidate with a minimum mass of 1.4 times the mass of Saturn around the solar type star HD 75289 of the southern sky. HD 75289 is comparable to the age of the sun, based on activity measurements and 29pc away. The heat induced by the tidal forces and the radiation of its parent star could yield to a temperature high enough to vaporize some metals like nickel and iron. www.itp.tu-graz.ac.at /~lisa/results.html   (1514 words)

Welcome to Brandon's House of Pain Secondly, it is always at nearly the same airmass as HD 209458 because of their proximity in the sky. The star HD 209458 is known to have a planetary companion (HD 209458b) based upon radial velocity measurements of the Keck Doppler survey. Since we were not able to actually observe the transit of HD 209458b because of bad weather, we simulated one in IDL based on the observational parameters of Henry et al. www.ugastro.berkeley.edu /~bswift/lab4/lab4.html   (3063 words)

Nate Elliott - The Sets are HD-Ready... But the Salespeople Aren't (Right now, there's literally one single content source that UK consumers can turn to for HD programming -- HD1 -- and that's a satellite channel not carried by Sky that broadcasts just four hours of original content each day and requires the purchase of its own set-top box.) So I asked the nearest salesperson. He explained that HD "makes the pictures look better" (a good enough answer), and told me to look for sets labeled as HD-ready (right answer again). It was big, and it was beautiful, and it carried the HD-ready label, as well as an information card that explained what HD meant. hive.jup.com /analysts/elliott/archives/010085.html   (331 words)

Digital Spy: Sky+, HD and the future Finally the discussion came round to Sky’s High Definition Offering, which is being driven hard by James Murdoch who sees it as a way of spreading the Sky word out to the top of the market (HD) and the bottom of the market (FreeSat). But as far as Sky are concerned they will no doubt be looking at the various technology options and the costs of implementation versus reduced bandwidth requirements. Firstly the next “feature” for Sky+ users (currently in field trials) - set for delivery in the autumn - is an option to allow the recording of interactive channels as “scheduled” programmes. www.digitalspy.co.uk /article/ds14860.html   (883 words)
