Sky Plus box

[black and green]

Can anyone confirm or deny that the newest Sky+ boxes still have the irritating twirly lights on the front when you're watching telly?

I got a new one in November, not sure if it is the latest, but it has a blue swirly light when you are playing back recorded content. If you are watching live there is only a single green LED.

We have Freesat boxes in the bedrooms and the LED on those are a bit bright at night when trying to get to sleep. A bit of electrical tape sorts that out though you may needs two bits for the Sky swirly.

I got a new HD+ box last week. Still has the swirly lights when watching recorded content.

You can switch the lights off in the settings menu.

I like the swirly, makes the TV stand look like the control centre of a spaceship.

Thanks for the info, have ordered a Sky+ box. Almost ready to leave the 20th Century!
