I have Sky HD and i bought my box from Ebay from Dealing Digital for 185 greenbacks after having owned Sky+ for some time.
My advice, go for it, the PQ is STUNNING on HD and i still catch myself admiring the PQ on some programs.
The only drawback about HD for you could be if your dont plan on getting Sports or Movies. At the moment there isnt all that much to keep you interested as all the big hitters on Sky One HD are between seasons at the moment however Discovery HD is well worthy it has to be said.
But even then, just because you have Sky HD dosent mean you have to pay the 10 quid HD charge you could just use it as a SD box without the HD subscription and switch on HD when it suits you better.
I've had it for a few months now and find myself watching HD channels more than anything else but then i had Sky Sports up until the end of the season there and am now enjoying loads of Movies on Sky HD during the pre-season.
Honestly, i have NO regrets.

Does the box upscale the SD channels? Does it do a good job?
What's it like? Box, EPG, PQ, overall impression, etc.?

Yes it upscales SD, and it does do a good job.
The box is good, only had to reset it twice i think in the time i've had it, the EPG is its always been, excellent. The PQ and Impression i've given above.
