@mattfox14 - It's the automatic white balance on the camera. Notice the wall behind him is changing colour too.

I think they should have made the option to turn on/off mini T.V more prominent instead of hiding it away.

you have to have sky + hd

Regarding advertising, Sky will probably copy what DirecTV do in their current (and much more advanced than Sky's) EPG

I'm afraid the EPG is very laggy in contrast to the old one. Sky are releasing new HD boxes (with 1 Terabyte drives) and as such are offering the old stock "free" now. I assume the new boxes have better graphics processors in.

Thanks for taking the time for the review but i must say i did not like it and i have just placed an order for skyHD but after watching this and reading the laggy EPG comments I wish I didnt just get it.

Is it realy still as laggy now the epg?
