The current HD box can display 1080 and 720 already

My understanding is that the signal from SKY is only being transmitted at 720p at best, and also depending on the channel. Depending on the channel, sky can throttle the signal up or down to improve performance over the network. I haven't heard of plans to transmit 1080p signals in the near future.

I am considering buying Sky for the first time mainly for my dd who is addicted to anything DISNEY. So wanting some advice? Should I now go for the SKY + HD Box £49 plus free standard installation with the childrens package that I have seen advertised? My husband would like the multi room facility. What therefore is the best deal and would I be also able to take up the SKY cashback offer via QUIDCO £85 SKY+ £120 SKY HD?

Any help as to what is the best way forward for getting the best deal is much appreciated.

I never mentioned 1080p did i ?

Alot of channels are broadcast in 1080i , C4 HD is one and the Sky channels as well

We have had our existing box for 6 yrs and we are starting to have problems with it so I am going to take the plunge.

Can someone help? On my confirmation email, it says this is a full day installation appointment. How long does it normally take?

The guys came in, and took just over 15 minutes to install our HD box (I'd already removed the SKy + to put on eBay )

That was yesterday and the M+S vouchers arrived this mornig, and £100 cashback is confirmed for payment too :rotfl:

Thank you SKY:T:T:T
