Perhaps they should make the insides work properly before doing anything with the outside

Re: Sky reveals designer Sky+HD boxes, delays introduction of new HD EPG

I thought the whole idea of home cinema kit was that it should be as inobtrusive as possible - I mean, the idea is to watch the picture isn't it, not the kit that's producing it? What's next? Dayglo orange TV sets? Strobing panel lights on DVD players?

Sorry, just the meandering thoughts of an old dinosaur who clings to the quaint belief that form should follow function.

Well I really wanted one that looks like I have just thrown up all over it...

It would be an improvement on those designs at least!!
