I don't think there are many channels at the moment off the top of my head the bbc, itv and channel 4 but I would expect this to rise and I would expect more channels going this way as the digital switch over gathers more pace, I suppose what I'm trying to say is I would imagine that all of the freeview channels to be available in HD in the future.

On the other side there still aren't very many HD channels on sky, so is it really worth the extra £10 a month, but then like someone else posted above get the box but don't subscribe to them until you get value for money, at least then you are taking advantage of the connection on the sky box.
