Ok...had Sky HD installed for a week or so now so ill give a totally un-biased comparison over the sky box and TV drive, as mentioned ive had sky put in purely for the HD choice though
Recordings.....prefer the TW facility, not only the recording 2 channels at once but the overall recording system
SD picture quality......about the same on my Pioneer 436, very hard to spot any difference...both exceptionally good
HD......well, obviously Sky wins hands down here, sport, movies etc etc ....most of which looks "brilliant"...ok some is upscaled but the majority ive watched is true HD ... some on the sky HD thread moan about the lack of HD material but been a TW customer for 8 months im spoilt senseless now...at last i feel im getting the best out of my Pioneer
Menu ..... Sky again wins this comfortably, alot faster flicking through the menus and sub menus
Reliability...ok so only had sky for a week but not a a single glitch so far...the TW box required regular re-boots to put its house back in order
Programme choice.....quite shocked at the ammount of shows added to sky since i was lat with them....most of which have never made TW
Overall......i have to say with having both boxes running along side each other, the Sky HD box is much better, not just the HD stuff but the other points above. TW is a good box neverless if you only wanted the recording like sky+ or cant have a dish.....but given a choice Sky is ny recommendation
