Sky HD Price Drop

Just a heads up that the cost of Sky HD will probably be coming down
soon. The following evidence is presented:

1. Existing Sky subscribers can now purchase a Sky HD box for £200 and
get it fitted by an independent retailler at the price determined by
the retailer (around £60).
2. At The Ideal Home Exhibition is London recently you could sign up
for Sky HD for £200 (plus new subscription).
3. Those who work in the public sector (e.g. DSG) got a Sky HD offer in
their pay slips recently (£100 + 12 month subscription).
4. In Currys/Dixons you can get Sky HD for £200 when you buy a TV

So if you are thinking of getting Sky HD for Christmas I'd advise
shopping around and not paying the full £300.

For more details simply read the discussions in the Sky HD forums at
the following web sites:
www.avforums.com
www.digitalspy.co.uk

I hope this info is useful.

If one buys one of these is there any HD that can be viewed without a
subscription?

Exactly. I'd rather pay a couple of hundred more for the equipment if it
meant lower subscription..

Whenever I'm in a store looking at the BBC HD channel, Robbie Williams
is always cropping.

Can you provide a link for a HD box @ £200?

Also you need not pay any install if you are upgrading from Sky+ (straight
swap) or can climb a ladder and run a new cable from the dish.

The only thing on in HD apart from yank rubbish no doubt knowing Sky.

Everyone thought things were fantastic when Monochrome went to colour but we
still got the same old stuff, Same as mono to Stereo did'nt make the music
any better quality!!

The powers that be are only scamming the young pups because the older and
wiser will have none of it...they've seen it all before.

Or if you don't want to pay for the recording function.
