HD Channels on Sky

Just wondering if anyone can answer this question for me? I am thinking of Cancelling my Sky as I just can't afford it as I am only on a low income.


My outstanding balance is £83.00 and I can't pay this right now so I am going to get cut of, my bill is due on 20 September.


When my TV does get disconnected, could I still record on my Sky+HD? and will I still have access to these HD Channels?


BBC One HD
ITV HD
Channel 4 HD


Hope for a reply! :)

  • If your account is suspended, I believe you will lose the Sky+ functionality, including the ability to play back your recordings, but you will definitely still be able to view all the free-to-air channels, which includes the HD channels you mention plus several others.
  • As with any cancelled Sky account, Sky+ will no longer operate as a PVR; which means that no new recordings will be possible and any old ones will no longer be accessible.

    As far as HD channels are concerned, all the BBC HD channels (BBC1, 2, 3, 4 and News) Ch4HD and ITV1HD will indeed still be viewable.

    You won't be able to "cancel" Sky until you pay off your outstanding balance.

    You've certainly changed your tune in the last month:

    To be honest, I don't think sky is that expensive because my Sky monthly bill is £42.50 as I only got sky TV with them.

    I wasn't the one bringing it up, I was only asking about if I still have access to HD Channels so get your facts right before you start.


    When did I say anything about my life?????

    On the 22nd of August 2014 you claimed that you'd only just joined Sky and were "happy with that amount".
    So why, less than a month later are you claiming that the bill has "changed" and that Sky will be cutting you off for non-payment?

    If you take your phone and broadband through Sky, they may also be disconnected along with the TV service.
    And you'll have to stump up an extra month in advance should you want to be reconnected at a later date.
    Disconnection does not cancel your debt or contract-you'll remain liable for the arrears and the balance still owing on the minimum term.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    No recording, no Jack Bauer, BBC/ITV, C4 and C5 HD channels only.

    Bonus £30 broadband disconnection charge from BT.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
