Thomson SKY Reciever Box with power plug, no remote or cables included with Guide book

Condition is Used. Collection in person only.

This is a Thomson Sky HD and has now been discontinued so is quite rare. It features Component Video, S-Video, HDMI, SATA, SCART, RF in and out, RS-232, Dual Dish, Telephone and Ethernet, USB and Optical Audio Out.

What is great about this machine is that it can convert TV footage stored on the internal disk or the SATA disk into Component Video without being encrypted with the video codec that prevents the media being played. In other words, you can save a copy of your Sky footage onto a portable format and bypass the copy protection.

For obvious reasons, Sky discontinued this model so if you need to do some conversion of special clips, this is the machine for you. I have forgotten how large the internal disk is but as you can add extra disks via the SATA interface, storage is expandable.

An invaluable tool for the studio, ideal for footage conversion.
