Sky+ and HDTV

geebeeone

If you are thinking of getting a Sky+ box and also interested in the new HDTV broadcasts,
be aware that the current Sky + box will not work with HDTV.
Sky are bringing out a new digibox in 2006 that will work with HDTV.
(What the cost will be is unknown)

Thats why Sky are doing deals on Sky+ boxes.
HDTV boxes are rumoured to cost between £300 and £500 and an extra £10 a month subscription.
If you are not prepared to fork out the extra money, it is not worth buying an HD ready TV. Personally I wouldn't buy a new TV until they have 3 HD input sockets. most only have 1. With HD DVD coming soon and next generation game consols all using HD inputs, you will need them.

Hopefully once the technology has taken off then the prices will drop to a reasonable price as there is no way I would spend between £300 - £500 on a Sky HD box then an extra £10 per month subscription charge.
