SKY DRX595 HD Digibox Receiver
We are just expecting the arrival of Skys new Digibox the DRX595 and are taking reservations.
The DRX595 is a HD receiver that replaces the now discountinued standard digiboxes. The new receiver from Sky allows users to view both high definition and and standard definition although unlike the DRX895 does not have an internal hard drive for Sky+ recording.
The new SkyHD DRX595 is designed in the same fashion as the stylish DRX895 range of receivers with a high gloss black finnish that looks very stylish and can be stored not only horizontally or vertically. Not only is the receiver as sleek as the new DRX895 range of digiboxes but it’s smaller as well measuring 273mm Wide and 52mm High.
As we would expect the DRX595 has a HDMI output for watching both standard and high definition channels as well as allowing access to 5.1 Dolby Surround Sound which is a new feature for a Sky Digibox. The DRX595 also has one scart cable an optical output, LNB input, USB, 10 pin mini DIN and Ethernet port. Although Sky have yet to activatethe service it is rumoured that by connecting the DRX595 via ethernet to a Sky+ HD receiver you will be able to view programmes that have been recorded on the Sky+ HD receiver on the DRX595.
It’s worth noting that the DRX595 does not have a modulator i.e. an aerial input and output although it is possible to connect this Digibox to other TVs via coax cable by using a modulator.
Please also note that this is a Standard Sky HD Digibox and not a Sky+HD box and does NOT have an internal hard drive for recording.
