We also talked about HDTV and it seems even if you don't subscribe to Sky as well as a £299 box charge there payment of £10/month. Apparently this is because the HDTV box has a 160GB hard disk drive and Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound. If you pay £299 for the box then you have to pay the monthly HD sub. If you want the recording functions then you have to pay another £10 per month, though this is waived if you also subscribe to premium channels. If you pay £399 for the box then you don't have to pay either monthly fee and can receive the BBC HD service, though without the £10 recording sub you wont be able to use the recording functions. The DD5.1 is free. -- Digibox problem? : A reboot solves 90% of these.

Which gives you access to HD channels and content not available anywhere else (UK programming, in English, legitimately) It isnt *just* for the box... Loz |
