Sky hd ?

[louisesgarden]

We have just bought a new TV, sky rang me with the offer of a HD box instead of the sky + we have. You have to pay for HD channels from what i gather is it worth it ?

I have Sky hd

I assume your telly is HD ready or Full HD,most new ones are now

To be honest if you don't watch much sport I wouldnt bother getting it as at £10 per month its quite pricey when you consider how many channels are transmitted in HD

Normally pies, i switch off when they ring with offers, but our new tv is HD etc, not like our old one that weighed more than a small car ! but the guy on the phone confused me he spoke so fast he would have been better doing horse racing commentary ! he mentioned multi room as we have a sky+ box which i liked the sound of that so i could tape and watch what i wanted instead of been banned from recording ! by my hubby incase i take valuable memory up ! for him to record his motorbike racing ! i know multi room is a tenner but do i have to pay for hd channels aswell ? louise

If your new tv has freesat (as well as freeview) you should get hd channels. I think the bbc hd channel is free of charge on freesat.
We need to get a dish installed to receive freesat though - next on the list of things to do (but more £s needed).

Sky HD is fab - this from a woman who SWORE she'd never get Sky LOL!

I say get HD, and ditch the OH

I'm really impressed with the nature programmes in HD but I have Virginmedia not Sky.

Sky hd costs are on top of everything else in your package

I think i may just pay it ! so i can have multi room in the kitchen and watch what i want ! i bought sky years ago for my OH for his birthday and he never fails to remind me of this when i want to watch something !

HD isn't available on freeview yet.

Life on BBC is just fantastic in HD.

We've got V+ which is the Virgin Media version of Sky+. To be honest I think the HD bit is totally overhyped but I love the easy to use hard disc recording which means I can record two channels while watching a third - why is it that there's nothing on 99% of the time but when there is it's all at the same time? Think Sky+ only allows you to record two channels and watch one of them rather than another but still pretty good.
