V HD : New TV account query

[ernest22]

I am having TVxl, BBxl and phone unlimited installed in a fortnight under the Sky switcher offer. This involves an additional V box as well as a V+HD box. No monthly fee for the additional box.

If I understand the offer correctly I can pay another £49.95 and have a V HD box instead. Are these two different types of box? And if I was to do this swap latter would I incur an additional install fee?

If I am not mistaken the box is the V-HD box as this is now the standard box and that the £49 charge is for the activation of the HD channels of this box. Someone will correct me if wrong

Why not try looking to the VIP pack here :

There is a VBox standard def or a VHD Hi def box (non PVR)

the VHD box is now the standard issue non recordable box. it won't come with HD activated by default, you will need to pay the £49 hd activation fee for that.
