Standard IPTV service and boxes - all of them do "catchup", and they all probably use the same few main providers!!

Most of the boxes seem to be made by Motorola and have been around for a long time. BT Vision use them and I would not be surprised if they also supply them to Telefonica for their IPTV services. Even Portugal have taken 500000 of them for their services.

These companies flogging them to the expats would have you believe it is something new and unique to them - not so.

Buyer beware!

So could you use a Telefonica IPTV box in collusion with Sky HD+?

No, it's a service to receive Spanish TV programmes etc.
