OMG! how pricy is a sky HD box!!
My dad's just got a new HD TV and is using an old sky standard box of years gone by.
He's been with Sky for about 6 years at £45 a month and now it seems to upgrade to a HD box would cost him £250 + £30 installation.
My dad simply cannot afford that!
We (pheebs and myself) got virgin HD for £45 in Exeter, but in cornwall there is no cable for virgin, meaning for HD TV, sky appear to have him over a barrell. he doesnt need sky sports HD, sky anything HD, just a sky box that will make normal channels a bit clearer via a HDMI connector... :/ Sucks.
