This article suggests the basic HD channels were offered

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Some were probably offered but one suspects at prohibitive prices and this itself is abusive market practise and Sky know exactly what they are doing as we have seen by them closing several ex Virgin channels and setting up Sky Atlantic and then keeping it to themselves and one suspects in the next couple of years they will set up more channels and withold them or ask for a prohibitive price where they know the terms will not be accepted. by any sane financially prudent company.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

I suppose Disney , Nat Geo , ITV , ESPN and Nickelodeon are also asking prohibitive prices as well. Sky are using Atlantic as a USP in much the same way VM use TIVO and its fibre optic BB network.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

One does not know whether they have ever been offered to Virgin but did not Sky and ITV have a exclusive HD deal.:)

Well MM l think we will agree to disagree on some of these issues as you are seeing it from a pro Sky point of view and l am seeing it from my own point of view.:)

A pro VM way ;)

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Denphone, it is hard to see your pov as if Sky really were that bad then VM did themselves no favours by selling more channels to Sky.

It is an issue that VM customers should take up with VM as VM's stance seems to differ from what customers such as yourself want from VM.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

I've been searching for some details on the forthcoming streaming feature that Sky may be implementing but can't find anything on the following -

1) Will streaming be between Sky+HD stbs only or can you stream from Sky+HD to a Sky HD stb.

2) Will all stbs on an account be able to view the planner and access the recorded content from an stb on that account? E.g. Say I have a main Sky+HD in my living room and have two further multi room stbs. Will both the other stbs be able to access the planner from the 3rd stb at the same time and view different recorded shows?

May be this info isn't available yet which is why I can't find it?

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

I'm not sure on question 2 , however to answer 1 I believe the SkyHD box (non PVR) will allow you to watch content from your planner off your Sky+HD box.

Maybe something similar to this , I'm sure DirecTV use NDS

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

I just realised that in the upgrade section for multiroom on the Sky site that not all customers pay the same for all 2nd stbs. I didn't use the filter as per my current stb :dozey:

As I already have a 1tb I will get the Sky+HD for free and not £199 as I previously thought so no need for a standard stb.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

My contract is up soon for TV , I'm going to negotiate a free 1TB multiroom box I currently only have a Sky+HD box.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

I think they are now just £49 when you talk to someone at Sky even though they are advertised as more. Hopefully you can get one for free :tu:
