This was enough to make my mind up about HDTV:

"Sky HD is going to be massive here in the UK as people start jumping on the
HDTV bandwagon, if you now walk into Dixon's or Comet all you will see if
HD-Ready and HDTV compatable on every LCD and Plasma screen in sight. Sky is
hoping that the popularity of HDTV in America will be the same over here in
the UK this year. If Sky get an extra £9.99 from only 5% os its customer
base they will be making serious money."

So, Sky think we're a bunch of couch potato yanks who'll run out to buy this
crap???

Who cares about HDTV from Sky? If the picture goes off during rain with
normal Sky,Then we have equal services and HDTV costing more for the same
"No satellite signal is being received"

Why can't the UK accept that TV is DYING and no matter what quality the
broadcasters use,People simply won't want to watch umpteen repeats,Spinning
DOGS and Red Dots?

O-K for the British cabbage who watches pro spitting on Sky Sports ..Err
Sorry Football Hooliganism..It'll keep the prats off the streets for a
while hopefully.

Or in their terms, "The late results just in are... Sky 5 - Gophers 0"

Last laugh on Murdoch as usual

( For whats on TV these days a B&W portable is suitable)

I have noticed that "National Geographic HD" has appeared. That would
seem nice.

Wasn't the additional subscription a big turn off when Sky+ came out?
They dropped that and it flew.

Can I justify £2K on a new TV and a £50.00 a month sub just to watch
'some channels' in HD? Frankly, no.

You do sound a bit bitter and twisted!

I am looking forward to watching National Geographic and Discovery in HD, +
the excellent BBC documentaries that should also start appearing in HD soon.

As a sports fan, but no hooligan , I am looking forward to seeing sports
events in HD - the winter olympics looks great in HD apparently in those
countries where it is available.

And as a movie fan I am looking forward to watching some great films -
without dogs or advertising - on Sky Movies HD.

Yes it will cost me a little more money, but I think that is worth it.

So are you going to be able to just have the basic two mix subscription,
plus HD or are you going to have to have the full package plus HD?

Lets face it how much stuff is there going to be available that is
actually HD and not upscaled SD? Most of the US imports on Sky One would
be HD, but what else will they show? Premiership football, handful of
games a week, then what else are they going to show?

£299 for the box doesn't seem too bad though.

I lost your e-mail and so haven't been in contact. If your e-mail here
is OK then I'll drop you a line later.
