Last week the BBC announced that they would be launching a trial HD channel, BBC HD, including coverage of the World Cup and Wimbledon 2006. Customers with a Sky HD box will be able to watch BBC HD as a non-subscription channel.

Thank you for your interest in Sky HD.

Mines for the 23rd of May, after instalation you have 30 days where you can cancel, what you think are the chances of a reduction in subscription sky will offer you?

We could all be getting robbed it could be anyone ringing us up and asking for our credit card details. :eek:

Got a May 23rd installation date.

The girl who rang me from Sky told me that they'd been massively oversubscribed (they'd underestimated how popular it would be). They had 23,000 people register for it.

She'd been ringing people refunding their £30 but telling them that they wouldn't be able to get in the first round of HD installs.

Glad I ordered mine on day 1 of the offer!

Wonder how much Sky made from the interest on all those £30 deposits they took

Well she was talking tripe

not as much as on the £299 they will take, lol

MrM3 · 14 Apr 2006 at 20:20

not sure £5 interest is worth worrying about when you are spending £299 and £10 per month on top of subscription...

Couple of questions...

does anyone know if the SkyHD box uses HDMI or component?

also, do I actually own my current Sky+ box that the new HD box will be replacing? Obviouslly I've got ebay in mind, but when I used to have ntl 'all equipment remained property of NTL'
