Well I've not got sky at all at the moment but just got a Toshiba LCD HD ready tv & was just gonna get sky+ for now but now thinking I may aswell just pay out the extra right from the start. As I can't see the price for HD coming down much more than £100 in the next year or so.........does it improve the quality of reception on the standard sky channels aswell Paul or is it purely just the HD channels?

I'm thinking about it aswell, i'm just not sure if i can justify all that money to watch The Simpsons in HD

The box looks sexy as though

From what I have read on other forums, about 80% of peeps DON'T think it is currently worth the money..... Purely from the ammount of programming offered..... Personally I don't think HD digital braodcasting will settle into a normal routine for anohter year or two yet, but when it does it will probably be really good....

But it's too "new" at the mo - picture quality and level of "HD" varies, sound quality (and status - stereo, 5.1, etc) varies.... Everything is just on repeat all the time

But as said, sport is supposed to be great and apparently so are the nature/wildlife progs
