Sorry if this has been brought up already, but on page 28 of the Sky Magazine (July 2001) it's got a whole advertising article on Sky+. I can't say that I'm impressed - the new box is basically a TiVo with two digital tuners so you can watch one sky channel and record another, and pause the live TV etc.
When oh when will we be able to watch all 300 channels at once??
Ever??
I think that the service is aimed more at people who want to watch and tape different sky channels at the same time. Bear in mind not many people will want to watch more than 2 diff sky channels together as that would be the most TVs it is linked to (not here, though - it's wired into 4!).
Although I haven't got the magazine yet, I would have to say it sounds a bit expensive for what it offers - it doesn't seem to even have all the features of a TiVo - particularly now this wonderful Personal Planner is upon us

Does the mag have any new logos in? (Sky News, Sky One, etc)

Doesn't appear to have any new logos in - at least that I can see. Doesn't mention anything about relaunches. But, as someone suggested, it may be the end of July so it may be in next months!

Well they certainly are keeping us all guessing! I bet they read this forum and just laugh!
