			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Skycards.eu would like to introduce you to Sky Atlantic HD , Sky&#8217;s new channel launched on the 1st February 2011 and feature&#8217;s many of HBO&#8217;s American feature programmes such as Boardwalk Empire , Curb your enthusiasm and Blue bloods.</p>
<p><span id="more-146"></span></p>
<p>Sky Atlantic can be found on Channel 108 and is available to all Customers with the variety mix .<br />
If you do not yet subscribe to Sky TV we currently have a offer on Sky cards at just £125 !<br />
My colleagues tell me that Boardwalk empire is fantastic and so I think I will be using the Sky anytime facility to catch up with the first couple of episodes.</p>
<p>If you are unfamiliar with the Sky anytime facility let me introduce you ! Press the Tv guide button on your Sky remote and if you have a Sky + or Sky HD decoder you will then see a small red circle in the bottom left hand corner of your screen. Press the red button and you will then be taken  to a separate page  showing  programmes which Sky have automatically saved to your hard drive.</p>
<p>Sky automatically update Anytime TV   every couple of days allowing you to watch the most popular programmes whenever you want .</p>
<p>If you have just activated your card or you have just purchased a new HD decoder from us then please be patient as it can take around 48hrs for Sky to send the first batch of programmes to your hard drive.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sky HD TV has been a round for a while now, and has become almost a given in any household, so are plasma or LDC flat screen HD TV&#8217;s so how has it all gone so far.<span id="more-143"></span>Well it only feels like 5 minutes ago when Sky HD TV was announced and we where all excited here at Sky Cards about the future products we could offer our customers, we are delighted to say that there has been a massive positive response to Sky HD TV and many of our customers decided to upgrade to the superior technology.</p>
<p>But what difference has Sky HD TV made to our normal TV viewing? We at Sky Cards know from our experiences that it has vastly improved on the old way&#8230;we now watch the HD version of the channel  when available and we experience greatly improved quality and sound, especially evident when watching football on Sky sports or a nature documentary on National Geographic.</p>
<p>We know that one day HD will become an inferior technology as the TV/Entertainment continue to improve the quality of thier audio/visual media but we have a good few years to enjoy the quality service, Sky Cards will keep you updated with any news of developments with Sky TV.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Interactive Sky TV has not really taken off, because people still separate the information the get (The Internet) and the Video entertainment they watch (The TV).</p>
<p><span id="more-141"></span></p>
<p>To access interactive services the coloured buttons on your Sky TV remote control are generally used, but now not really what they where designed for. Originally the buttons where to access informational content like news and weather, but now they have a much more exciting and powerful function.</p>
<p>The buttons are used for accessing additional audio/visual content, for example when Wimbledon was on this year you could use you Sky TV remote control to access channels with a channel being BBC1 so you could watch whatever court you wanted at any time and you could switch between courts at your pleasure. In fact 7.5 million viewers used the red button to access this additional content and during the Snooker Wold Championships 3.96 viewers pressed the red button.</p>
<p>So not only when you get your Sky TV through Sky Cards you get the advertised amount of channels you get all this extra bonus content ready to be explored.</p>
<p>Another emerging feature of Sky TV is the green button, this is being used on adverts to deliver extra advertising information to potential customers, Sky Cards thinks that this is the start of something big and it will be on most adverts one day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Like there has been before, there will be a format war between the different parties involved in the development of HD TV in the coming years.<span id="more-138"></span>Other format wars have included VHS vs BETAMAX, VHS won, then Blueray vs HD DVD, Blue ray won. Sky Cards know why Blueray won the war, its because HD DVD was endorsed by the likes of Toshiba whereas Blueray was supported by companies like Sony, which wanted to, and did put the Blueray tecnology into there playsation devices which had a massive market saturation in the gaming industry.</p>
<p>Sony also had a massive customer following who would back any products they would release, whereas Toshiba make mostly TV&#8217;s so to market HD DVD compatable players it would be a harder task than Sony.</p>
<p>So it is almost garaunteed that if you are with Sky for your current HD TV then Sky Cards think that you are with the right TV provider going forward to ensure you HD 3D viewing.</p>
<p>You will however when the time comes have to updgrade your hardware, and buy some 3D glasses, but from Sky Cards resarch these will probably be about a £2 by the time the 3D technology is mainstream. It&#8217;s really exciting and Sky Cards will bring you the latest news on the Sky HD 3D TV developments.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As previously mentioned in other articles, Sky cards loves the image of Sky TV&#8217;s identity, we have talked about the design of the Sky card before.<span id="more-128"></span>The Sky box also known as the Sky receiver or Digibox has changed over the years from a very retro, very squared black box to a sleek stylish space age design. Sky and other companies have recognised over the past 10 years that it&#8217;s not just the quality of the product you offers matters. The look of everything to do with the product matter as well.</p>
<p>With the new white Sky card just catching up with the latest Sky + HD box, with it&#8217;s stylish Silver, white and gray design, we will undoubtedly see more and more design improvements with Sky&#8217;s future products. The Sky + standard box isn&#8217;t bad either, even though it is now outdated by the Sky + HD box, the almost all white coloring and strong, bold lines gives the impression of a powerful yest simple piece of equipment.</p>
<p>We all remember the days when the boxes where plain, black and boring, and where soley aimed for functionality and the Sky cards where boring and no effort was put into making them visually appealing.</p>
<p>I wonder what Sky have install for the future, maybe a big design change when Sky + HD 3D in released!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since the emergence of higher broadband speeds, online TV is becoming more and more common, Sky are now offering such a service.</p>
<p><span id="more-126"></span>Once you receive your Sky card from Sky Cards and you have activated your Sky card and created an online account with Sky then you can log on to the Sky web site and use the Sky Player service.</p>
<p>Sky Player is a really impressive piece of software, it runs in your web browser using the Microsoft Silver light technology, if you don&#8217;t already have Silver light then you are prompted to initiate a small download which installs the technology needed to play the content on your PC in a few easy steps.</p>
<p>Sky Cards thinks the user interface is really easy to use and very intuitive, Sky have tried to make the application as similar to watching it on your TV as possible given the limitations of the Internet.</p>
<p>We really recommend that once you have your Sky card that you get online and check this service out, one of the best things about this service is that you can watch the Sky TV you love whilst your out and about maybe in an Internet cafe, or it can be used if someone is watching the main TV and you want to watch something else, now you can using the Sky Player application.</p>
<p>You will only be able to view the channels that your subscription covers.</p>
