yes I just heard him waffle on about how he needed 2 "thingies" instead of one............. blinded me with science

Is it worth it? No.

I dont think what I pay per month is worth what I get for my money. I think for the packaged that I have, every single channel should be in HD, no ifs, no buts.

However, the channels that are in HD are brilliant. Football will never be the same again. I cringe everytime Im at someone elses house watching a premiership game in SD.

I'm having doubts now as they charged us double what we should be paying not the "extra £10 a month" - on the phone to them for nearly 2 hours over 3 days - They tried to tell us we have 2 x HD boxes & 2x sky boxes!! Finally got it sorted & have been promised a refund within a week - they took the money last week - I wasn't a happy bunny!!

Oh tell me about it!!!! I had actually totally removed one multi room, and although we already had the HD in the lounge, all I wanted to do was to swap the other multi room into a Sky+ or the Sky HD, and just like you, they said it would work out a lot cheaper because of what I was doing, plus I told them to take off the movies coz we never bothered with those. My monthly bill went from £60 down to £59 I think, so I blasted them over the phone and they blinded me with science telling me that it would all settle down the next month - it didn't!!! They have us by the you know what's though don't they, not a lot we can do! I did warn you about this £10 business which didn't quite work out on paper I wish we could get freeview here but we can't yet in this village, but I'll probably be changing over to that and doing away with this Sky and their exhorbitant charges!

So that's one HD box in the lounge and one upstairs, no movies, just the normal package, at £60 a month!!!! And another thing, they wouldn't do it "free" like they had advertised because again, just like you, we already had the ONE! Rant over! Lol!

if you just want freeview you can cancel one of your sky subscriptions. You will recieve alot of the freeview channels on the satelite. You keep the sky box so just leave it plugged in

Of course!!!!! Even though they say we can't have it in our area, we can get it through the Sky dish can't we I'm going to see what's available on Freeview, because going on what we got up at our caravan over the week-end, that wasn't a lot, and that was freeview. Thanks for that Ashman, it's worth giving it a try, even if only on the 2nd telly

You did warn me ours was £59 a month before so with the HD should be £69 - they charged us double that & even when I logged on online it said we had 2 HD boxes & 2 sky plus boxes which we haven't! had to argue the toss with them!! We have 2 normal sky boxes in the kids rooms & they watch the freeview through that - our ariel freeview was rubbish even though we had a huge ariel on the roof trying to point in the right direction - so yes you can watch the freeview through sky! (still waiting for my refund!!)

We had Sky HD at a cost of an additional £10 per month; then changed to Virgin Media who do us HD tv package, broadband, and telephone for a very decent price which is about £23 cheaper than Sky and they don't charge extra for the HD.

We did the same and all in all are very heppy with it

I do like the HD, although like a lot of you I am waiting...waiting ...waiting for a refund

What happend is I cancelled the broadband coz my son switched over to Virgin in his room with a wireless router. So I thought why pay twice. So am on his wireless and phoned them...wait for it...2 and one half years ago!!! and cancelled the broadband. Well as I pay direct debit I never even give it a thought...then on day 4 months or so ago I was looking through the service bit on the telly and thought I would check my invoices and lo and behold they have been charging me for the broadband for all that time

So I go on the phone and tell them, nice you Scottish lad tells me he will sort it...and how do I want my refund, as a couple of months free or back in me bank account...well you can guess what I said!!!

It turns out they owe me £250 and the last few months from last Dec they were charging me £15 a month for the broadband that I was only paying £5 a month for that I cancelled 2 1/2 years ago

Still waiting...........................................
