The NEW SkyHD Digibox

Sky's newly launched HD Digibox, is a direct replacement for the standard Sky digibox which has now been discontinued. This box allows you to access standard definition, and over 50 high-definition channels and 3D.

This new box has a modified version of the Sky Programme Guide (in high-definition) including the mini-tv feature; It operates like the current Sky+HD Digibox, just without the record functionality.

Not only is the receiver as sleek as the DRX890 (Sky+HD) but its smaller measuring only 273mm by 52mm high

The DRX595 has an HDMI connection for watching HD and SD channels allowing access to Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound which is a new feature for a Sky box.

It is worth noting that the DRX595 does not have the RF modulator output, so it will not be possible to run a cable with magic eye to a second location.

Please also note that this is a Standard Sky HD Digibox and not a Sky+HD box and does NOT have an internal hard drive for recording.
