Hi all

I see sky have currently got an offer on, I can upgrade to Sky+HD with the movies pack for an extra £18 a month.

Those of you that have it, do you think its worth paying the extra for? I can't seem to find on their website, is the extra movie packs HD or normal quality? I rent probably 2 blu-rays a month, thats £8 a month, so if I can watch them on the telly then thats got half the cost covered!

Cheers

Rich

 

in a word, yes!

 

i dont tbh ive had mine 12 months and i dont really watch it.

 

For football, deffo, anything else is gash! I'm cancelling mine in Jan

 

I dont have sky or hd at home but a few friends do.

I have to say I am extremely impressed by it, but the cost of the tv and the sky hd box and package might be expensive for the benefits.

It is good though

 

i wonder that, it would cost me a tenner extra a month

 

Have you got a HD ready TV???????????????

Because if you have, which i would assume you have........Whats the point in having it without having a HD input.....

It really does make me laugh the amount of people who have HD TV's but no HD input to them......

Oh, And Yes...Sky HD is superb for sport, films and documenties ie, Wildlife ect ect

 

i bought a "big tv" cos i wanted a big tele.................i've had HD and took it out cos my std pic went down hill..........trust me i had a really good std def pic......think the hdmi/digi look is shite on std deff...................but my HD pi was mint...........but u watch more std def than HD

 

The sound is 10 times better on the HD channels, you get proper 5.1 Dolby Digital rather than the Pro logic that comes with pleb TV

I'd tell you but sky engineers (or one in particular) is a lazy twat.

made us wait in all day last saturday to fit HD+ etc... and didnt turn up.

then phoned at 830 pm with a load of shit excuses... reckon they cant fit it till the 21st now. see if they actually turn up this time. load of shite.

 

Cheers guys - as i said in my original post, I ratch blu-rays through my ps3 occasionally, so yes I do have some HD

Might have a look into it a bit more before commiting myself!

 

ive been thinking about this for a while now, i have the standard sky set up with the movies, but you are saying for the same amount as the movies on thier own i can have a HD box also (plus the one off payment of £30 for instalation)

 

+1

 

+2
Loads better. although the boxes aren't the most robust and i hate the new menu system. its slow as hell to respond!

 

m8 just spent the only day i have off work waiting in for the sky engineer, andhe didnt turn up, coming next sunday now! so they say, quick enough to take your money!

 

Its not that much more! And tbh i wouldnt be without it now!

 

Oh and Top Gear is now HD

 

just got it fitted on friday - Sky HD on a Samsung LED Series 8 - amazing viewing!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Cheers guys

 

this bugger is on my shopping list Sky HD on that instead of my 32" HD TV

Well I get mine for free so yeah

 

Same as others have said, why pay the dosh for a big hd telly then not use its capabillities??

Sky HD is ace. Sports, films and documentaries all look the dogs.

well recommended here.

 

Keep thinking about getting it, but is it worth an extra 120 notes a year to watch the same programmes I already pay for?

 

Because not everyone can justify the cost. I'd like an HD input, but I don't think the extra quality over standard is worth the full cost of a Sky HD subscription when the Freeview picture is perfectly watchable and free.

 

If there's anyone here NOT already a Sky customer and interested send me a PM

 

or get £120 through quidco

 

HD rocks, although the Pic is not that noticibly better with my TV the sound is amazing

 

I just find it strange that people will spend thousands on an all singing and dancing tv.......but then wont spend £10 a month to get the best out of the TV........

Like having a 500bhp Cosworth that you never take over 50mph.........

Each to there own i guess....

 

But why does it make you laugh Mark? Ive got two HD ready TV's and not a single HD input to them! Why? As i wanted a plasma in the room and one in the bedroom, why have i got HD ready, cos the tellys i liked have got hd ready!!!!! I dont personally give a toss about the picture getting better than it is, for the amount of TV i watch its 100% fine

Stick that in ya soil stack
