Title: Sky - Question for TUnnie
Post by: Mr Skrunts on 27 April 2010, 22:18:23
Is it right they are only selling HD boxes now.

Is it true HD will be free?

Dad had Sky installed a couple of weeks ago --- "standard" sky+, but they installed the HD box. I assumed it was because they thought it would be easier to convince him to upgrade later on and get the extra rental  ::)

About time they sorted the software bugs then.

can't confirm either sorry, but Virgin Media are giving away HD content for free, so its highly likely Sky will follow suit. They are still giving out Standard+ boxes, thats going to continue as far as i know.

Lets hope we start saving £10 a month very soon then, and even better, if the drop the movie pack down to a tenner they can have the tenner a month back again.

I changed from VM to Sky a few weeks ago, saved a little bit of money and getting slightly more channels. Had V+hd, now have Sky+hd. The sky box was free, an offer until the end of the month i believe, although i think the monthly subscription is more than if it were a normal box.
Must say though, the V+HD box is so much easier to use, has 3 tuners rather than 2 and i miss on demand. The additional memory of sky doesnt bother me as i delete shows after watching anyway.

A 3rd tuner would be nice, or even having the bloody standard aerial plugged in during bad weather conditions, bloddy installer cut the plug off and left the lead outside. :-/

How do you get iplayer/4od content on it? the majority of content in anytime i can see right now is on sky channels i dont even subscribe to.
Maybe because i haven't had the phonel ine and new internet installed yet?
