Do you really expect your parents to buy a huge high definition televison (£1000+), a SkyHD box (£300-500) and pay for a SkyHD subscription (~£40/month, or ~£10/month more if you already have Sky Digital) just because you say so? I think they're just trying to fob you off (and rightfully so), and have no real intentions of going HDTV any time soon.
Have some patience and wait another year or so, by which time your money will stretch a lot further and there will actually be a decent range of HD content to watch.
