SKY TV + ESPN - options

[johnny6]

we have full sub with HD and it's about £60, will prob drop HD when the year contract is up as the difference is barely noticeable

Sky.com current pricing confirms £67.50 for all the channels and HD

Add another HD multiroom subscription and it costs an extra £20.00. Sky Money maker surely.

keep things legal

For the record I've been a good boy and not sent anyone an email.

The differance between SD & HD is massive!

I can hardly tell and have what I believe is a decent TV, my brother also has it and he says he doesn't find it that noticeable

If you aren't sat close enough to the tv you won't be able to tell the difference as the light converges.

I signed up a few weeks ago and it's £67.50 for all channels + HD and 1 multiroom but no ESPN. as ESPN and Multiroom are around the same price i believe then it would work out the same.

Thats quite a lot of cash going out each month on the TV

Slightly off topic but I'm paying £95 a month but I'm with Virgin and get

• 20meg internet
• 1 x V+ (HD) Box
• 2 x Normal boxes
• All movies/sports channels
• Unlimited telephone
• Discounted international call
• Discounted mobile calls
• Caller ID

Heh cool diagram, we have 50" at 10ft - looks like HD is ideal

You say that as if it isn't a standard free feature on all networks

Is that true? That's saying that if you're more than 10" away from a 32" tv (which isn't really that far really) it doesn't matter what tv you have?? That's madness!

Using rayleighs criterion you can see that as the viewing distance increases it becomes impossible to discern higher resolutions.

I live in a student house with 9 other people. £7/month for TV is peanuts.

i thought about getting an hd box just for the extra space but don't have sky movies or sports

my wife wants the irish version of sky for the irish channels but it's working out at 28€ per month we are currently paying 19.50 for sky+

to be honest i've looked at freesat and i think sky is simply the best in terms of ease of use the epg is great and really easy to understand.

i have entertainment, music, kids and docs packages

 

[dan7777]

pack it up or you will get suspended

Indeed!!

Are you sure you have a HDTV?

I have the full package as well, HD+ all sport/ESPN/Movies etc

I think its £74 a month including the top ADSL package as well.

Not too bad I think for what you are getting.

Not free on Virgin.
