Anybody heard anything about this. I heard it from a friend of mine who is a sky engineer (yeah i know everyone's got one!), apparently sky will be bringing out a new box which has an optical fibre connection from the lnb to the box, obviously a new lnb is required which is currently available/in development. This will allow 5 channels to be recorded at once and although he didn't say it im guessing they could get a direct 1080p feed down there also. Apparently it's cheaper to make the fibre cable than the standard copper fibre (which makes sense). I don't know how credible this is, just wondering if anyone has heard the same thing. I for one would be happy if i could record 2 channels and still be able to browse to another and view the programme info, but i guess everyone always want's more!
