You wanted to stay with Sky+ ? So no HD ? I thought that they were discontinuing SD broadcasts ?

Asking for someone else. Current contact ended (or just ended)
Sky Signature & Multiscreen. What kind of price for those?
EDIT No internet or phone as that's via BT.

Sky+ certainly couldn't do HD when it was launched, back in 2002, as Sky HD didn't start until 2006.

Ok. Certainly available now though on Sky+ boxes as my Dad still uses it. He couldn’t cope with the change to Sky Q.
