Sky HD - Anyone got it??

We're seriously toying with the idea of taking up Sky's £49 HD+ Box but can't make our minds up.

Anyone else got it and if so, what do you think of it??

Fab because it gives you sky plus and anytime tv. The increased picture image is good for certain programmes such as sport and nature. I wouldn't get rid of mine and for that price a bargain!

I would go for it, we have had it since it first came out and while it wasnt brilliant value back then it is now. There is alot more channels now and more coming. The movies and sports are excellent and the documenterys on BBC HD are quality aswell. Add to that sky 1 programs being in HD it is well worth the £49

ETA, There will be a new program guide very soon and talks of video on demand

Thats me sold then!! Me and the OH have been debating over that or the FreeSat thing but Sky Sports wins it for me!

Nice to know that its worthwhile from people who actually use it! I asked someone at work today and they said it wasn't worth the money so i asked them how long they had had it and they said they didn't, just that they heard it wasn't good value! Really helpful!

Don't forget you also need to pay £30 fitting, unless you go for multiroom.

Yeh bit of a scam that, is there more to it than simply swapping the box over??

Depends if you already have Sky+ then they just swap the box and put the card in, if you have ordinary sky they need to put a new quad LNB and run a second cable for the dual tuner, but as in most cases you have to pay the £30 then they should say it's £79 and of course the extra subscription £10 a month for your extra HD channels for your chosen package.

Just ordered my Sky HD - can't wait!!

There's £100 cashback on sky+ HD at quidco at the moment!!!!!.... so it would pay for itself plus

That's interesting coz they didn't with us, I had to actually buy the HD box and yet we already had Sky+? Can't remember without looking it up how much it actually cost us but I think it was around £200 I'm sure of it?

I love it, but my o/h doesn't notice much difference and says there's not enough channels worth watching, but for me, I think it's brill!
