UK Sky and MCE

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi,

I am looking at setting up a new system, and I am looking for some answer to
a few questions...

If I get Sky Digital(early next year) there will be a special Sky box that
comes with that. Can I plug that box into a MCE machine, and then have the
MCE control everything. I would want to be able to see the Sky Programs etc
on my MCE menu system etc... (I want one central location to do all, not
some one the MCE and some from the Sky... one remote, not changing to TV on
the MCE box then having to use the Sky remote to change channels...).

I guess I want the sky box just to decode the signal, and pass it all to the
MCE machine?

Is there an option? Does it currently work like this on Sky plus?

Is there anywhere I can read up on the UK options for MCE/Sky..

Thanks
