To be fair this may well be the truth. when sky + came out my understanding is that customers was initially charged for that privilege. Now you don't. My friend is a sky engineer and he told me don't be surprised if they scrap the hd charge anytime soon.

Watch this space i suppose all be it with great amount of anticipation!! haha

You still have to pay Sky at least £10 a month to use the recording facilities on Sky+.

I would ignore anything any so called Sky " Engineer " tells you, they are the bottom of the pile in Sky.

But you don't pay for Sky+ any more? Or are there some hidden charges? It's my understanding that to use the recording facilities on Sky+ you just need a channel subscription with them...

Correct, but that still comes at a cost, so not " free ".

You cannot for instance use the Sky+ facilities without a subscription.

Ah, I see what you mean now.

Would be great news but cannot see it happening just yet. It costs them more money to broadcast in HD with the satellite running costs and any equipment required at their end.

Plus 3DTV is coming next year from Sky. One channel to launch.

to be fair the op is sort of correct, sky will indeed be scrapping the £9.75 charge this xmas, but not for nothing, as it will be replaced with the old £10 charge, when the vat increases come back into effect, Dave
