Re: Who's signed up to sky hd channels?

I have not signed up for HD Sports and Movies as of Fri 30/7 1645

At the momment i have no extra HD Channels unless it is on XL TV so i am not that bothered. I have normal SD sports and movies though

I normally like to watch sports and movies for the entertainment value The SD picture is goood enough to me

I will see how it goes after it starts and then my get HD sports and movies then

Re: Who's signed up to sky hd channels?

Well as I don't have a HD TV I see little point..They are very nice but until everything is HD and my TV breaks I see little reason to get involved.

Anyway most tv programmes are absolutely pants and old films haven't really been improved by being digitalised and I can't see that watching reruns will be improved by HD.

Because lots of people are still watching TV at midnight, and would get upset by engineering works which could or do cause interruption to service. So instead the channels are added in the early hours, and the STBs informed of the change at 6am.

Re: Who's signed up to sky hd channels?

Signed up, not too difficult a choice for me as a subscriber to Sky Sports and Movies - just to balance things out binned Picturebox. Never really felt that the movies on it were the greatest in quality

Re: Who's signed up to sky hd channels?

Yes, but online it does not say serieal number for the box I want it on. As I only want it on 1 of the 2 boxes I have. Plus it says do you want ebilling - and I already have it so dunno what to do. It could mess my bill up.

On mine it just says something like "We set up ebilling for you for free. If you want paper bills for X amount a month tick this box".

I just left it unchecked (as I have ebilling anyway) and its worked fine. Already have access to normal Sky Sports 1.
