Sky "slash" price of SkyHD box. Could this be related to virgin getting HD share?
 

Could this slash be anything to do with Virgin getting more High Def channels?
Sky now see them as a threat and lower the price to less than the V+ box.
There must be something big for Sky to slash their top of the range flagship box by £101!

Sky scared maybe?

When they drop the £10 month charge I'll be interested, until then the box could be free and I still wouldnt have it.

Scared of Freesat as much as anything else, I reckon. There are people out there who want HD but aren't interested in subscription-based channels. But if Sky can reduce the cost of getting Sky+HD and trying out the subscription for a few months so that it's cheaper than going the Freesat route, they may attract some people to give it a go.

Of course if they do that only later will they discover that on cancelling their subscriptions the PVR functionality will cease working ...

:O . Dont the customers buy the equipment from sky?
sky shouldnt have the right to be able to do that, should they?

Re: Sky "slash" price of SkyHD box. Could this be related to virgin getting HD share?
 

They do it just now with the normal V+ as well as the HD version. No subscription no PVR. :erm: :erm:

I thought you still got BBCHD and Channel 4 HD if you didn't pay the £10 subs? :/

Edit:
I wonder if you could try it on with Virgin, and get the V+ for £45 too :p

Re: Sky "slash" price of SkyHD box. Could this be related to virgin getting HD share?
 

Yup - but I don't think you get to record them.

Re: Sky "slash" price of SkyHD box. Could this be related to virgin getting HD share?
 

You can. I've got a Sky HD box and don't pay the HD subs yet the PVR functions work as they should.

Re: Sky "slash" price of SkyHD box. Could this be related to virgin getting HD share?
 

Excellent - no reason why I shouldn't get one then.

Re: Sky "slash" price of SkyHD box. Could this be related to virgin getting HD share?
 

dont you have to pay the hd subs for 12 months to get the deal????????

Re: Sky "slash" price of SkyHD box. Could this be related to virgin getting HD share?
 

I would have thought so, usually have to do at least a 12 month contract.

Still, in my case at least, I'm interested - especially with free install too.

Re: Sky "slash" price of SkyHD box. Could this be related to virgin getting HD share?
 

just called and existing customers can get the offer as well, so its frere install if you take mutiroom and 49 for the box!

Bargin really

Shame you have to register!!!

Re: Sky "slash" price of SkyHD box. Could this be related to virgin getting HD share?
 

Not possible!

They send you a letter out to say you can call them up and order it and i doubt they would give the HD box for free!!!!
