Hi,
I'm considering buying a new HD TV which has HDMI only connection - no Scart, so I'll have to upgrade the existing Samsung SMT-2100C SD box to either a V HD or V + HD box. I'd going to go for the V HD box with HD activated. I'm currently on TV:M, broadband:M and phone. I've done some research on prices, etc. Could somebody confirm this:

I have to upgrade to TV:M+ at extra cost of £6.50pm?;
The one-off cost of V HD box is £49.99 for HD activation and £20 delivery?;
Since the box will be delivered, I can self install and so do not need to pay £35 for an engineer call out nor a £15 Quickstart fee (Quickstart applies only to modem installs?)?;
These are the only charges? - I currently get a £7pm bundle discount. Might I lose this if I upgrade?;
The V HD box comes with HDMI cable?
What do I do with the Samsung SD box?

Thanks.
