No free HD on Sky freesat
Just phoned up Sky and asked about freesat/freeview.
Asked what HD channels I would be able to view, 'You have to pay for HD' even the BBC HD and ITV HD ? Yes you need to pay a subscription So its not free then Nope.

A HD box without a viewing card will get BBC HD and ITV HD and LUXE HD. NOT channel 4 HD or 5HD. When I first got my HD box i did not pay for the HD sub and I also got ch 4HD . Then I paid the HD sub and got all my normal sub channels that had an HD version + sky arts HD even though I did not have sky arts. Gary
