I have no idea what that means but I will guess he is trying to say that even if you have a HD box you still have to pay Sky to view HD programmes. Can you not talk a HD box out of Sky for nothing or reduced price.

I got a Virgin HD box for £25 instead of the usual £50 and they dont charge for viewing HC channels like Sky do

Re: Wanted: Sky HD Box

I bought a HD hard drive recorder recently, I don't know why it's very seldom I watch TV, and although I bought a HD televison at the same time I don't think they there is much difference to ordinary TV, certainly not worth paying extra for.
I get bombarded with leaflets form SKY offering ne free HD box etc if I join but I don't know if existing customers get them for nowt.

There's a hell of a difference to me Gremlin I first noticed it when I got one 4 years ago, my daughter put footy on on a Saturday lunch and I asked if it was on the HD channel it wasn't so she switched over the difference was very very noticeable

Re: Wanted: Sky HD Box

BBC,Channel 4, 5 and ITV 1 and a few others are free to view on Sky via a HD box anything else is an extra £10 a month (on top of your subscription) as regards the quality of HD, it does vary channel to channel and programme to programme for example The X Factor,I`m a Celeb and Strictly really are amazing in HD but others do vary in quality , it also depends on how good your TV is, i only recently joined the HD revoloution and other than the programmes i have mentioned and also Blu Ray dvd`s the jury is still out in our house...........
