i recently got sky HD and there is a slight improvement on all the channels, but the HD channels are absolutely stunning. i find myself watching programs all the way through ( that i wouldnt normally watch) because the scenery and special effects is so droolworthy.

and the footy looks amazing.

Sky HD is a bit pricey, but well worth shelling out to make the most of your HD telly.

and you get the sky plus free with it.

there is 12 HD channels on ours, they seem to be adding extra ones quite regular now.

you can buy the sky HD boxes a bit cheaper off ebay but i couldnt be arsed.
