According to Stuff magazine It seems that Sky are reducing the cost of their HD box to £150 regardless of whether you are a new or existing customer! Its not on their website yet, but will be renamed Sky+ HD and will have a new all singing all dancing EPG etc.

Sounds good, until you get to the installation costs - £30 for a new customer, £60 if you are an existing customer!!!

Why do existing customers have to pay more for installation when there is already a dish in place and they just have to put in a new box!
Grrrrrr :mad:

This is an interesting article I found on the web relating to Sky HD and current pricing issues - as we all thought Sky are losing customers to freeview and freesat and will need to reign in their prices to stop the rot rather than keep pushing the now outdated sky+ with expensive advertising campaigns. Good news for the consumer if it comes to pass. To all those 'ex sky customers' like me waiting for a sensible deal on HD 'hold fast' its coming !

Hi everyone, I've just rung sky and pretended to be a technophobe who couldn't work out how to record fron my standard sky box, that I was going to get a hard drive recorder and switch to freesat and they sold me a sky+ box for £49!

How is it spam? Perhaps inappropriate, but look at the guy's post count, he's only just registered. Give him a break. And change you're signature, it's irritating.
