[Sean B]

What? why am i on a poxy waiting list.

 

[kpowell911]

My mom saw the advert for this and said We should get it.

Might help if we had a HD TV dear......

 

[Sean B]

just called them again, 50/50 split on new and exsisiting customers being able to have early installation, the rest have to wait.
Rubbish.

 

[Gavin.]

i was put on a 1 to 3 weeks waiting list and had the text to upgrade within 1 day

i only registered yesterday

 

[Sean B]

[fUbAr]

Go and talk to a person in a shop.

I mean a real person, not an internet person.

 

[Gavin.]

new promotion started on thursday...

HD boxes are now £29

where from?

Comet like the other one mentioned?

 

[Rich-D]

just paid £49 and its booked for fitting on friday the 6th with no fitting cost

as a replacement box or with multiroom?

if so... how...

 

[Gavin.]

^^ Replacement box, i dont need multi room. I live in a one bed apartment, the aeriel in the bedroom is looped from the living room so i feed sky through that

so how have you blagged free installation?

I don't want multiroom, I just want to updgrade my Sky+ box as cheaply as possible...

 

[Gavin.]

i didnt blag it at all, they just said £49 so im not asking about an installation charge lol

 

[Rich-D]

in that case don't be surprised if they charge you :clown:

 

[Gavin.]

nothing has been mentioned yet, i have paid the £49 and its being installed on friday. So we will see

 

[Rich-D]

be nice if you did get it free

I assume you rang up and spoke to someone at Sky, rather than ordering online?

 

[andywright182]

They getr more than enough of my money so im not paying to watch an upscaled version of some channels. When they claimed HD channels are showing true HD rather than an upscaled picture I may be interested

 

[MarkCup]

As said above, regardless of what it actually is that they show you on the HD channel...it is infinitely superior to the SD channels.

So, £10 per month for 30 channels...that's good value to me.

 

[andywright182]

Funny thing is, it really isnt superior. For a tenner a month id want true HD

 

[MarkCup]

According to you...

According to me, and many others who own and watch a Sky HD box...the HD channels are massively superior compared to the SD ones.

So what if it's not 'true HD', that's not what I paid for.

I wanted a superior picture quality for £10 and that's what I got, so I and many others like me...are happy.

 

[andywright182]

Glad you and others enjoy it. Im sure Rupert likes the monry you throw his way each month. I have seen many Sky HD boxes on great Tv's and havent been overly impressed apart from the Sports. Rest are a waste of time and money according to me, and others who have cancelled it

 

[Gavin.]

be nice if you did get it free

yes mate i did call and spoke to "John" over in india lol

 

[FiXX]

lol it is "true hd" you realise that anything recorded and broadcast is initially much much much higher resolution than what its broadcast at

 

[sn00p]

lol it is "true hd" you realise that anything recorded and broadcast is initially much much much higher resolution than what its broadcast at

Only if it's recorded on proper film or on HD digital cameras...otherwise it isn't....

I love sky HD

In which case nearly all of the stuff these days is!

 

[Gavin.]

yes mate i did call and spoke to "John" over in india lol

figured out why i had no installation charge, john in india fucked up and registered me as a new customer!

Had to cancel the original upgrade and re do it, now the £30 install charge has appeared

 

[Rich-D]

Doh :dead:

 

[Gavin.]

still being installed friday though, have managed to get out of being re-registered cause i kicked off

 

[riz]

thing is, i only watch friends/scrubs/sky sports news , so i cant justify HD atm. BUt it does look ace

 

[Dafthead]

Well worth it IMO

I watch Nat Geo HD, Disco HD, History HD & Sky 1 HD shitloads, so suits me down to the ground

+ Rush HD & MTV HD are pretty damned good.

 

[Gavin.]

I cant wait until friday ,

the only downside i have is that i dont have two input feeds so i can only watch what im recording

Living in a posh mill conversion FTW

Sharing a sky dish with 47 other apartments FTL

 

[Sean B]

Well me being put on the two month waiting list lasted only 1 week, text confirmation today saying i can order and choose installation.
Booked in for the 14th, happy days

 

[Gavin.]

i knew it wouldnt be as long as they said, enjoy!

 

[RichF]

HD is excellent, the sports are far better. Had HD for 6months or so now. Worth the cash.

 

[Sean B]

Ok, just had this installed, it really does look good.
Quick question to anyone with it and a 40inch telly. Im watching the footie and the score and time is really low and central on my screen.(see picture)
My tv is set to 16:9 as is my sky hd box, what am i doing wrong as it looks naff, im 99.9% certain it wasnt like that with my sky + box.

Or am i being too fussy.

Thats how it is broadcast for customers who may have a standard 4:3 TV still.

A lot of stations do this....
