Sky only install HD capable boxes now, but not all of them will be HD activated due to the extra monthly cost
Over on Digital Spy, someone has recently said that all boxes are now being supplied with the HD activated, so those that don't pay the £10.25 will get BBC1 HD etc. How reliable the info. is though, I don't know.

Incidentally, AIUI, Freesat use a FTA version of C4 HD, but Sky use an encrypted version, so, if the above is correct, Sky customers would not be able to receive it. I guess they could faff about and add the FTA version to add channels.

Also, has anybody else noticed that VM seem to have fixed the bug where the programme info. box on the EPG came up blank and you had to cancel it and then press it again to get the synopsis?
