Mine was on at 7am this morning SS2HD looks glorious, SS1HD looked SD with Sky Sports news on it, is this because SSN is not broadcast in HD even though on HD channel ??

Sky Movies HD from 1st Oct 28.50 makes Lovefilm blu-ray rental look a steal newer films to. Dependant if you have a player that is .1 disc at a time unlimited rentals is about 9.99 .

Just act like you know nothing about any increase

Someone at Sky is seriously overvaluing the sky premium channels they cost more now than your 6 mix or XL package plus say your broadband. I think sky could see a lot of people downgrading this year. So long as these footballers have a drive full of cars that's all that matters LOL.

When I joined Lovefilm, I went via a link on Amazon and it is a Â£1 cheaper than joining direct with Lovefilm for the one disc at a time -- -Â£8.99 as against Â£9.99. Don't know if that is still the case as it was over a year ago. The discount doesn't apply to the higher levels though.
