HD Channels availlable without HD subscription
Hi, I am brand new here so please forgive me if this question has been asked/answered before.

I have just bought a Sky+ HD box and would like to know which HD channels are available without me paying the expensive HD subscription every month?

Thanks in advance

Mike

I am unclear about the fine details on that page - e.g. I subscribe to the Variety Pack - does that mean I will get that pack's HD channels automatically without the HD subscription?

Re: HD Channels availlable without HD subscription
If you just pay the HD sub alone you only get the "Non Subscription" channels shown. If you then add a pack (ie. Variety) you will get the SD and any HD versions of the channels in that pack.

Re: HD Channels availlable without HD subscription
Hi, I think I get that though my question was slightly different - I don't want to pay the HD package of £10.25 a month but I DO subscribe to The Variety Pack, Style and News and events packages - I was wondering if I would get the HD versions of the channel within those packages, but on reflection I'm pretty sure I won't unless I pay the HD sub

Re: HD Channels availlable without HD subscription
No HD sub = only receive non subscription HD channels.
HD sub = All HD channels of your chosen 'mix(es)' plus non subscription HD channels
