My GF has just bought me Sky HD!

[Keydogg]

Now then!

Just got home and found out my fiance has ordered us sky HD with the full package and paid for 6 months! Totally shocked! I've wanted it for ages but we've been saving for the wedding so thought better and now this!

It's getting installed next friday! Can't frigging wait!

Anything I need to know? I've used sky plus a few times before but never actually had it myself!

 

[Storm_Force]

It is great, had mine a few days now. Still got the old epg though

 

[James.f]

its hard to remember that you have HD tbh, youll be siting on the sofa watching SKy1 in the middle of a good program then a advert comes on sayin available in HD, then you remember lol, always happens to me,

just make sure to book mark the HD ffilms

 

[_Kenny_]

Getting my free HD next month, can't bloody wait

LOL that you think its for you....

 

[Cupster]

lol, what is she guilty of? jokes, Sky HD is ace.

Had mine about 2 months now and love it. Nat Geo/Discovery/movies HD = win.

As said the new EPG (TV Schedule) has yet to be rolled out.

You rocking a decent TV?

 

[Dafthead]

HD is awesome.

End.

 

[Pearl_Black]

Nice one! Would love Sky HD....must be somthing in the air or the water thought, because my Fiancee has booked me in for a remap. Happy days!

 

[Ronnie R]

Do you have a HDTV for one.? lol

 

[Cupster]

Just you fecking wait there IS a catch. I guess either;

1. She has been cheating on with a farm yard animal or your dad/best mate.
2. She has decided to double the wedding budget and you need to sell something of value to fund this

Always remember. BITCHS BE CRAZY!

 

[Keydogg]

Lol Rasclart, fortunately the wedding stuff is all booked and deposits paid so I'm ok there!

BTW if she's cheating with a farmyard animal then ill just redtube it tbh!

In answer the TV questions - no i have a 14" portable, what do you think It's a 1080P 42" LG LCD so will do the job, need a 52" next!

P.S. I thought there was a massive waiting list for installations wasn't there? It must have gone now cos ours is less than 2 weeks from the order date which i was very surprised at!

yes but then if you switch to sky1HD and it's not a widescreen program is doesn't stretch to the TV size, pisses me reet off.

If you are a new customer they will snap your arm off, if you are a current customer like my mum and dad who have been with sky since the days of 16 channels, then you have to wait 9 weeks !

Omg that's shocking!

Not necessarily. My parents upgraded to Sky HD recently and only had to wait 5 days.

Hmm, that makes me think that it must be worse in certain areas. I suppose it would depend on how populated the area is and how many sky installers there are for that area!

I think you could be right.

Turn the HD picture settings from 1080i to automatic. This seems to have worked for me. Does the same on Virgin.

I had to wait 2 weeks of the 3 months sky originally quoted to get mine.

 

[Chili Red]

I love Sky + HD. I didn't have Sky+ before and I wouldn't be without it now.

Me too

I watch anything i can in HD, last night i watched them move a whole house on a truck on Nat Geo Channel lol, just to watch it in HD.

The footie and golf are brilliant though!

LOL! You're not the only one that does that.

Mildly interesting program in HD vs something good but in SD

HD always wins.

 

[Keydogg]

You guys sound just like what I will be like! Lol

 

[Revels]

You'll also sit there and watch something you've recorded, get 3/4 through the adverts and realise you can fast forward.

I've had Sky+ for 2 years, I still do it.

I do the opposite too, getting frustrated tapping the fast forward button for a few seconds then realising it's live
