The recent furor over an anti feminine comment made by commentator Andy Gray has only heated up further. It has been heavily criticized and outright met with strong reaction from all ways. The scandal had the leading commentator for Sky Sports passing derogatory comments on a women linesman Sian Massev. This was during an official match up that the commentator went on to make a rude remark. He stated if the female linesman understands the offside rule. As a leading football pundit from Sky itself, the celebrated commentator had to face mass flak from the public and on a global platform at that.
This apart; Gray is also a part of the World phone-hacking scandal. Either ways all eyes were then set on the man himself, Rupert Murdoch. This was as to how would he react to the situation and how severe he will be on Gray. The drama only added up all the more when Gray publicly apologized for his rude comments and stated that it was said in pure jest and not to be taken seriously. So much so that while made those comments he thought that the mike wasn’t on.
But then even more action erupted within the house of Sky itself as it became a matter of choice between Sky Sports and Sky News. As a news channel, Sky News had to cover the story the way it had happened even as Sky sports tried to cover the incident. The Sun also came up with a juicy story based on the scandal even as the newspaper itself is also owned by Murdoch. For once there were some heated exchanges being exchanged between the sports wing and the news wing of the channel even as Sky news felt it would go ahead with broadcasting the video of the incident. The reporter Andy Burton, who was also present with Gray at the time, has also been suspended by Sky Sports. In the mean while Gary is out of Sky as well.
But all this is not going to affect Sky's coverage of the Premier League even as the deal was won by the broadcaster for a massive sum of £1bn plus dollars. It will be on till the year of 2013. Talking of the other broadcasters, it was BBC that gave as much as £173m for a highlights deal while ESPN simply had to do with one of the six live packages.
Sky 1TB box : Sky has launched its recent product which is Sky 1TB box. Sky has added all the latest features which includes the one in Sky+HD and is 3D ready as well.

SOME HAVE SECOND THOUGHTS ABOUT THE POTENTIAL OF 3D
Technology may offer its perks and comforts to humanity but when it comes to an abrupt standstill and malfunctions, there is simply no end to people’s frustration and suffering. We all know how handicapped we feel when the internet modem doesn’t work or an equal nightmare when the Sky Plus box shows definite signs of going ka-put.
There is simply nothing as terrible that can happen, in a modern household having TV, then the ‘No Signal Being Received’ phrase shown on TV. The tremendous stress, as placed on the digital boxes that are kept hot and on throughout the day, is bound to show someday or the other and sooner at that. All the stored data by a viewer himself personally, if lost due to set top box break down, may be much more than merely disappointing.
Then of course there is always the talk of whether to stick to the standard Sky box or upgrade oneself to Sky HD. With the constantly increasing number of HD users all over United Kingdom, it doesn’t come as a surprise as to what choice to make. Sky HD box is sure a good option.
But then comes the talk of 3D TV. For all the massive hype revolving around 3D TV and related products, there are still those who have their reservations to this format. Many leading critics included feel strongly against 3D for once. It comes ultra expensive with the 3D glasses itself costing very steep and let’s not even get to the cost of the 3DTV set itself. But then, the common man is for sure smitten by the 3D bug and likes the advanced TV viewing platform big time. The many recent 3D blockbusters are testimonial of this fact.
Either ways, people watching breathtaking 3D TV and getting the next dimensional experience in a pub may be a bit alert. The ones who have downed a pint or two of beer may actually panic when they see the ball hit hard by the player and being seen in ultra close up on the 3D TV screen itself.
Sky Plus HD Box : Sky plus hd box is a great option for people who enjoy hd quality television. As Sky plus HD box provides HD channels which have great picture quality and sound.

JONATHAN SPECTOR SCORES HIS PREMIERE LEAGUE FIRST GOAL
The recent match between West Ham and Everton was one action packed outing for everyone involved. This was right from both the teams’ members to even the diehard fans present at the venue. The match played at Goodison Park saw as many as four goals scored. It however ended in a draw with both the teams desperately looking to strike that winning kick all the while.
Jonathan Spector got his first goal for a Premier League match. This happened in the first hour itself. However it was later that Diniyar Bilyaletdinov who scored for his team to take the score card reading one all for both the teams. Later Frederic Piquionne got two yellow cards in the game itself even as he was celebrating for his perfect kick to the goal.
This took place even as only six minutes remained to the end of the game. The West Ham side was full of sheer joy at the unbelievable lead, getting so late in the game. But then as fate had other things in store for the game, it wasn’t to be the winning kick after all. West Ham couldn’t yet take victory home. This was even as in tremendous drama and shock, Marouane Fellaini came up with a late equalizer denying the opposition triumph. Fellaini in the mean while had himself not scored a goal in a long time, almost a year since he last scored a goal in fact.
Frederic Piquionne was given a yellow cared during the match for an off the ball incident. West Ham made their first substitution taking place when Freddie Sears entered the ground replacing Zavon Hines. The electric atmosphere that was in the air even as both the teams fought it out with one another was to be seen to be believed. Tremendous frustration and rejoice was in the air even as Scott Parker won a corner for the visitors after doing some real hard work. This is even as betting went all heated up at the www.skybet.com website.

SKY AND CLOUD TO BECOME ONE
The Sunday Times recently announced that BskyB is going to buy out the leading UK-based WiFi network provider, The Cloud. Since the story comes right from the horse’s mouth itself, as the newspaper is also owned by the media Czar Murdoch, this one is true for sure.
Cloud has got itself a good following in the United Kingdom as being a rather neutral wifi provider. The provider for once has as many as twenty two thousand wifi access points in the whole of Europe. An official announcement of the deal is going to be made soon enough when Sky makes an announcement of its earnings report.
These various access points as provide by Cloud have seen users having a good enough access to the internet from their mobile smart devices like smart phones, laptops, tablets, etc. One may find these hotspots of wifi access to be in restaurants and other public places which also includes fast food outlets (McDonalds) and Hotels (Marriott Hotels).
People have found this service to be rather great and efficient at that. As many as 100 million plus network minutes per month are offered to people by the company. This also sees an average download speed of over 3.5Mbit/s which is again brilliant for wireless internet connectivity.
This will only further more boost Murdoch’s ambitious endeavors and continuing with his rampage. For once, Sky's 2.8 million fixed line broadband customers will get internet access when out of range of a broadband connectivity from their homes. This will be a part of multi-play package that Sky looks at offering which is similar to the ones as provided by BT and Virgin Media for once.

IS 3D TECHNOLOGY THE FUTURE???
The 3D technology is here and will stay that way. With time, one may as well see this advanced entertainment viewing platform replacing the other TV sets greatly all across the world. The 3D technology has definitely impressed one and all who have seen a picture in 3D. If anything the super success of the many 3D theatrical films is testimonial to this fact. 3D is being promoted at most of the major electronics events all over the world. But then when it comes to sales it has been largely underwhelming. Stereoscopic capture, multi-view capture, 2D plus depth and a 3D display are the overall 3D techniques that are used to give one a clear and deeper picture or visuals that are in 3D. Samsung, Panasonic, Sony and LG are among the giant companies that are deeply involved in the mass production and selling of these 3D TV sets.
There are two technologies involved in the manufacturing of 3D TV sets. These are active 3D technology and the passive 3D technology. LG has been a leader in coming up with the passive technology based 3D TV sets. While the others, like Samsung and Sony have totally concentrated on active shutter 3D technology. Both the technologies have their own set of positives and negatives. The active technology gives a far better 3D image in terms clarity which is better then even HD while the passive technology based 3D picture doesn’t offer similar clarity. But when it comes to price, the passive technology of TV set is much cheaper.
Coming back to content, there is simply not enough 3D content available either. There are however increasing number of 3D blu-ray titles that play on a 3D Blu- Ray player which are connected to a 3D TV set. Either ways with the increasing number of competition that is taking place between the various TV Makers, the prices of 3D TV sets is bound to come down.
Sky 3D is the next step in Sky+HD journey. Sky 3D will be compatible with all 3D technology supporting Tvs. Upgrade TV experience with Sky+HD box, 3D TV and pair of 3D glasses for incredible TV viewing experience.

3D GLASSES BECOME MORE AFFORDABLE
The main issue with purchasing a 3D TV set is that it is very, very expensive. Thus one may as well opt for a new HD TV set that is much cheaper and give great High Definition picture quality that is nothing short of a treat to the eyes. But then the ones who have got a taste of the 3D TV sets are definitely smitten by it. The 3.2 million sales of the advanced and next generation of TV sets last year is testimonial to this fact that once the prices start to slash down, more and more people will opt for the 3D TV sets. The other issue is the factor of content. There simply isn’t enough 3D content available.
Talking of 3D TV, even the related 3D accessories that come with it weren’t cheap either. The 3D glasses for once are very expensive and only two pair of glasses comes with a TV set. For the extra pair one may have to spend a lot of dollars of pounds for that matter. Thus now comes the lighter range of 3D glasses that are very much light weight and pretty cheap, similar to the ones that we watch in Theatres. This doesn’t mean however that the heavier, battery-powered glasses will be done away with. Samsung Electronics sold about one million 3D TV sets in the United States itself in the year 2010. The company was rather looking at selling as many as three million to four million units of the 3D TV sets. Then comes the factor of other newer technologies that have come into play here as well.
This year at the CES 2011, advanced 3D TV sets were launched that simply did not need the use of 3D glasses. The International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas saw all the leading companies and TV makers launching their advanced TV set offering 3D vision. South Korean company LG is going to sell two models, a 47-inch and a 65-inch screen which will have the use of these lightweight and cheap 3D glasses.
Sky 3D : There are various 3D TV accessories like 3D glasses to support Sky 3D. Other accessories like 3D cameras, 3D handy cams etc. are also entering into markets. Enrich your 3D experience with these 3D accessories.
