My dad went and ordered Sky HD without talking to me, they installed it on Wensday.

We have gone from standard Sky Digital to Sky+ HD and omg :eek:

On a Panasonic TH-42PX600B everything looks amazing.

I watched my first ever football game in HD (Ital v Ukr) and the difference in picture quality is very noticable. You can see blades of grass, lights reflecting in players eyes, lights reflecting off their boots, detailed pictures of the croweds, stunning colours, I can just keep going on.

That sunset at half time just looked out of this world.

I'm soo glad that my dad did not consult me

I'll be watching England V Portugal in HD tomorrow, and 24 on sunday.

Damn I love the BBC World Cup coverage.

Anyway, I'm very happy.

It is a shame I have to wait 2 months to get Sky HD installed

My brother already has it, and like you said, the difference is huge.

Ahh yes but given the choice of ITV HD or Normal BBC coverage, I would go BBC no matter if it was HD or not.

Sky+ is damn nice. Recorded some of the England game to show my dad. No quality loss in play back as far as I can tell.

You can have Sky+ and Sky HD, no problem.

elite · 2 Jul 2006 at 00:55

on the same tv? dont think so

Dave85 · 2 Jul 2006 at 00:58

He meant as far as i can see he has went from Sky normal

to sky+HD As the new sky hd boxes are also sky plus so you can record.

its just called sky hd but u get the point

Having watched Sin City on SkyHD tonight I am once again so pleased to be an early adopter

elite · 2 Jul 2006 at 01:59

u can record with skyHD? i didnt think that was possible because the data is so much more?

Yup. 30hrs of HD material onto a skyHD box.

Dave85 · 2 Jul 2006 at 03:13

And We have the hd box from telewest aswell my god it pants IMO

Slow menus and generally poor layout and a lack of channels.

Sky hd is far superior
