    Yeah this is my problem, I can afford the extra, but i've never seen SkyHD in action so have no idea what it's like.

    My main reason for getting a full HD TV, was for the xbox 360, as the difference in quality is HUGE. but obviously if i can get the same effect with Sky then it's a no brainer really....

    Then the best thing is to go and see it for yourself, only you can judge the difference and whether it is worth it, TV pictures are a very personal thing and everyone sees them differently.

    Had it installed last week, basically im getting it for free as im not paying any line rental to BT anymore and im now getting my phone through Sky with no line rental for 12 months.

    Will I continue to have HD after 12 months?, not if I have to pay the £9.75 !, just isn't worth it.

    We can see BBC HD and can pick up a few free foreign ones too like Fashion TV HD. Can see the difference but not really wanting to any pay more for Sky's HD ones at the moment.
