Nevermind, its nice UK Sky customers will now get a decent menu to live with.

Next up? Sky need to revamp their On-Demand service, that's also behind.]]>Jun 2nd 2008 9:20AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/01/skys-new-hd-epg-gets-peeked/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/01/skys-new-hd-epg-gets-peeked/
The box is £200 ($400) and then you have to pay an extra £10 ($20) a month for about 10 HD channels. If they just lowered the price, I'm sure many people would get Sky HD.]]>Jun 2nd 2008 5:46AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/01/skys-new-hd-epg-gets-peeked/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/01/skys-new-hd-epg-gets-peeked/
What has the cost of Sky HD got to do with whether 'ordinary' Sky & Sky+ use the old EPG?

If anything surely the extra costs of Sky HD mean those of us with it ought to be getting a better 'premium' service (first if nothing else)?

My box wasn't £200+ btw.
I got it on a deal 1 year ago for £149 (new not a refurb) with no installation charges
(which, if you have Sky+ already, as I had, merely involves unplugging & reconnecting existing wiring to the new HD box, an outrageous £60 con in anyone's book I reckon)
or requirement to take out a multi-room sub.

If you are observant you can find the deals that make the usual standard terms laughable
(I think they will try & charge up to £249 on their website, it used to be £299).

No way was I paying £200+ for it but £149 all-in was too good to miss; you can wait too long and miss out.

I've been enjoying a year's HD service and think it's well worth it.
The service is improving, we get more channels coming regularly & the quality is good and sometimes genuinely outstanding.

The £10 per mth additional charge to your regular Sky TV service charge is annoyingly petty (they used to do the same thing with the 'plus' service - live pause, rewind & recording) but with a little luch they'll ditch that soon too.

But I don't.

I just hope the background soundtrack will stay the same.]]>Jun 2nd 2008 7:49AM
