    Does anyone know if Virgin Media have any offers on their HD services? I don't think I could face switching everything over so intend to stick with virgin. We have had an HDTV for nearly 3 years and never watched a single programme in HD!

    I know virgin HD is supposed to be rubbish compared
    to Sky but it will have to improve sooner or later!!

    Hi, having never had sky I am a bit lost. MY dad wants sports package and would like phone and internet. When I am looking it looks like this will cost £46 per month, without HD, Is this the best option or is there a cheaper way.
    Thanks

    Probably a really daft question, but here goes

    I have Sky +, would like Sky HD

    what is min I can pay for sky HD per month and is this ontop of my normal Sky + subscription?

    also I note that some people are getting their sky + boxes moved to another room, does this mean you would pay 2 subscriptions?

    and would you be able to record 2 different things i.e. hd box and sky + box?

    thanks in advance

    The Sky HD costs an extra £10 per month on top of your existing subscription and you would get access to the HD versions of channels which you already subscibe to.

    To have the Sky+ in a second room costs £10 a month (Called multiroom)

    The HD box is the same as the sky plus with recording facility and with 2 tuners so you can record one and watch one at the same time. It does however have a much bigger memory to cope with the HD programs
