Now the unfair (IMO) £10 Sky+ subscription has been scrapped for Sky TV subscribers, I've finally started seriously thinking about getting Sky+.
But, I'm now more tempted by SkyHD, as although...
Sky+ via Sky - £99
SkyHD via Sky - £299
... some searching on eBay found Sky HD boxes (brand new, sealed, 3rd gen. Thomson DSI8215 apparently) for around £170-£180, from a couple of different dealers with very very good feedback (Dealing Digital & Mildenhall Satellite) plus some private sellers.
So my thinking is... pay a bit more, & get a Sky HD box off eBay, instead of a Sky+ box.
Not overly fussed about the Sky HD channels at the moment, so dunno if I'd bother paying the £10 HD sub.
But, having a bigger HDD than a Sky+ box, and having HDMI output, and having BBC HD (which doesn't need the HD sub.) would I think make it still worth paying that extra £70 or so on top of the price of a Sky+ box, even without paying for SkyOne HD etc.
So....
Anyone with SkyHD think it's worth getting one, even if I don't subscribe to the SkyHD channels?
Does the box upscale the SD channels? Does it do a good job?
What's it like? Box, EPG, PQ, overall impression, etc.?
