Contents • • • • • • • • • • • Base technical details [ ] The Digibox's internal hardware details are not publicly disclosed, however some details are clearly visible on the system. All early boxes except the Pace Javelin feature dual outputs, an serial port, a dual-output with passthrough, and socketed audio outputs, as well as a 33.6 and an cable socket. A card slot, as well as a second smart-card reader are fitted to the front (these are for the Sky viewing card and other interactive cards). All share an identical user interface and, with the exception of Sky+ HD boxes which use the new Sky+ HD Guide. Battle Of Gondor Game 2.

Uniquely, the second RF port outputs a 9 V power signal which is used to power 'tvLINK' devices that can be attached to the RF cable next to a TV in a remote room. The tvLINK has an IR detector and sends commands from the remote control back to the digibox on a 6 MHz carrier on the RF cable.

This allows the sky box to be viewed and controlled from another room by running a single RF cable. All Digiboxes used to run on (the latest HD boxes now use what is known internally as Project Darwin software) with Sky's EPG software and conditional access. The Digibox receives software updates over the air, even when in standby mode should an update be available. The software features Sky-controlled channel numbering, the ability to view OpenTV or applications provided as 'interactive' or 'teletext' content on channels, parental controls, the ability to order events and some basic control over lists of favourite channels and show reminders.

Early decoders seemingly support only 700 channels approximately in their channel listing, as Sky has announced it is halting SD channels' launch applications, with over 100 awaiting launch, over 600 existing channels, and an average closure rate of 1 per week. Digibox remote control [ ].
