I agree with all the points here about the Sky HD charge. The range and choice of HD channels is well worth the £10.25 a month

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Some might call it value but HD now should be seen as standard and not as some extra add on charge.:nono:

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

If you buy a movie on Blu Ray its more expensive than DVD , if you purchase a PPV movie in HD through Virgin Movies or Sky Store its generally a pound dearer so whether we agree with it or not most companies profit from HD , I personally would much sooner pay the fee and be assured we get the latest HD channels from launch rather than waiting years for them to arrive but that's personal preference.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

But the thing is MM nearly everything is done in HD now so why should people have to pay a extra premium to get access to it.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

That is something you would have to ask the companies , as I say all companies profit from it whether we agree or not.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

I have to agree with you MM

Just like they were in the 60's and 70's but you would have said it then

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

We are talking about now as we are not in the 60's and 70's now.:erm:

Alas thats not a surprise given your unswerving obedience towards your master.;):D

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Correct we are not, well i hope not anyway. My point is yes everything or nearly everything is in HD but HD is still expensive to make and broadcast and until it becomes more affordable to everyone then it will be a premium

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Far from it. See table 2.17 here.

Also, only 59% of HD-ready TV owners have an HD source available.
(Source: table 86 here)

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

They might tell people its expensive to make but l simply don't believe that line which they are peddling.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

If its so inexpensive to setup , produce and distribute HD why have newer sports channels such as Premier Sports , Boxnation not adopted the format being that most of their programming is filmed in High Definition ?

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

You would have to ask them that MM.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Maybe you should email them Den :)

I think your in that dream of yours again :D and just wont allow that dream of yours to see that HD is still a premium for a reason

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Alas my young padawan you still have much to learn and perhaps you need to devote more time to your masters rose tinted teachings.:)
