Sky reveals Designer Sky+HD boxes

Sky has announced a new set of Designer Sky+HD boxes for 2013, enlisting the help of Roland Mouret, Sophie Dahl, Kit Neale, Giles Deacon - and Minnie Mouse.

The collection is meant to "bring the nation's love of TV to life", with inspiration coming from romance, gritty drama, nature documentaries and children's animation. The eye-catching designs cover the entire top face of each box, as well as the Sky remote control.

Each Sky+HD box has 2TB of storage, which should be enough to save up to 350 hours of high definition TV, as well as integrated Wi-Fi - making it easier to access on-demand content and catch up TV services through Sky On Demand.
