V+HD is inclusive of the HD charge, it can't be seperated.

Re: upgrading tv

The second v+ is really expensive, do you really need 2?

Re: upgrading tv

My mum still has the old non HD box and she loves it. I hope she can keep it as cannot afford to pay for an HD service she doesn't want!?

Re: upgrading tv

Why would it? They would just replace it when it breaks with a regular sd box or a VHd box with the hd disabled
