Re: Sky+ HD Boxes As Standard
OMG and WOW! come to mind on the New 1TB Model
A few things I think a few of us would like to know though first, who makes it and what's the specifications..
Very tempted by the price £249 that's cheap for sky..
Also what will happen to the £10 HD fee are they scraping this if all Sky boxes are HD from now on...

1TB boxes are made by Amstrad, standard apart from its looks to the 500GB model.

Re: Sky+ HD Boxes As Standard
my dad had been talking about a Sky+ box for ages and now when he tried today to get one he was told no way HD box only even for SD TV.
If he didn't take the HD sub it was going to cost him £150 for box and install.
So now he's not going to bother and he'll wait until his digibox finally breaks beofre thinking about it again.I'm a PC, and Windows 7 Backup saved my sanity when BitDefender imploded !!!

Re: Sky+ HD Boxes As Standard
That's wrong, it should be £49 + £60 (I think) for existing customers, unless Sky haven't figured out what they're going to offer them yet. Originally Posted by Undecided Adrian I Used To Have An Open Mind, But My Brain Kept Falling Out
