Yet as a new customer its only 30 quid for a box. They were unwilling to give any discount at all. Sod em. im sticking with my beta max'"
The HD offer applies to new customers or current Sky customers with a premium package - Movies or Sport. I got the offer as I have Sky Sports World (i.e. all four Sky Sports Channels).

| My Mam and Dad had Sky put in today and they got a Sky HD box for £49 and free installation. They haven't got the HD package, but said the offer is open to new and existing customers too. They may be wrong but I can't see how they can charge for installation if you've already got Sky +.
Considering getting one because you can still get the free to air HD channels with the box and my Sky + gets on my tats at time.
The sods never let me put their names forward for the free M&S vouchers tho.

Ah, sorry meant to say I was already on Sky+.
Sky HD is excellent, especially for sport, although if I'm honest the move from Sky to Sky+ (which I did a couple of years back) was more of a revolution.
I could cope without HD but not without Sky+. It completely changed my TV vieiwing.

| I stuck a 250gb hard drive in my SKY+ box about 3 years ago and it's been trouble free since. Problem is they use IDE Hard drives which are no longer made. There is a piece of software which makes it easy to transfer recorded programs to a new drive.
Been getting letters off SKY re HD so may have a look at it it you don't have to pay to upgrade

If you fancy upgrading, any of these drives will fit but are NOT GUARANTEED TO WORK. Plenty of info if you google it

YES! luckily i was at the game but 30minutes into the recording on friday it was 'interrrupted' we lost the rest of the game...gutted!!
This isnt the first time its happened and probably not the last... my girlfriends being so fed up she has rang sky and had the box replaced twice in about a year.
Seems like the HD package or an hard drive link up is the only way to ensure a full recording!
I can see it being a long time before they scrap the 10 a month extra for the HD package plus installation and charging you for the box itself...is it worth it?

| The way around paying for installation is to complain about the charge and argue the fact that as we live in Hull we cant take advantage of any of skys offers,ie broadband. Worked for me,and has done every time ive complained about sky and im getting nowhere!

The odd thing about Sky is we have had no problems at all since having Sky+ installed, When we did it we had Multi-room put upstairs with the old box. For some reason after calling to talk about Sky HD we lost our Multiroom. 2 days without Sky upstairs but its now back. Curious that we loose one bit but not the main bit. Gremlins or What!!!!
