The viewing experience will be personalised and far richer than it is today. The Pace implementation of the Sky integrated Personal Television Recorder includes a fully integrated hard disk drive and two tuners in the set-top box, which enables the viewing of one channel of live TV while recording another channel or the viewing of playback material while simultaneously recording two separate programmes. Consumers record TV programmes at broadcast quality onto the 40 gigabyte hard disk, which allows the storage of up to 40 hours of TV programming at the same digital quality as originally broadcast. It combines the strengths of the pay TV operator with the advantages of ever-cheaper digital storage technology to deliver both value and new viewing possibilities to benefit subscribers, advertisers, and service providers.
