Bbc hd

We have a new full HD tv and have seen BBC advert saying you don't need a subscription for their HD service. Does anyone know how to get BBC HD channel (and maybe the normal terrestrial channels) without having to pay an extra subscription to Sky.
Thank you for any help or advice.

Thanks for that, we have Sky but not the HD box.

You'll need a HD box, whether it's a Sky HD box or a Freesat one. If you get the Freesat one then there's nothing further to pay but setting it up may be difficult unless you get rid of Sky, which is what I did.
