I am an existing Sky + customer with the World package costing £42.50 a month. Am I right in thinking that if I upgrade to Sky + HD then all I pay for is a new box? (£299). Do I get a £10 a month hike?

I'm not sure I'm reading the pricing structure right.

Yeah £299 for the box, £10 per month on top of current subscription.

chrisowe

Yes, it costs an extra £10 a month plus the cost of a new box.

CORRR!!! Bargain

I cannot believe anyone, certainly anyone under 30 who should be out, would spend £42:50 a month for Tele, repeated tele at that!!

And in which part of this thread did he ask for your stupid opinion!!

CRAIGFIN

Thanks for the replies.

I'm looking at the webpage below for Sky HD and it says new customers pay £10 for HD but the Sky + subscription is free. I don't see how Sky can charge me for both when new customers don't.

Clicky

Usually half baked idiotic response from you

Yes, I thought the HD Demo was very impressive indeed ........ WTF has that got to do with the price of Sky Packages??

You seem to get very mixed up when you see my name on a post! You need to get me out of your head - I affect you too much, it's NOT healthy!

Craig.... if you have the top world package then you already have sky+ for free, so they wouldn't charge you for both. That's the deal i have anyway as an existing customer (but i pay £10 for multi room).

You can get £100 off the price of the box if you get a Sony TV, but they only do 32" and 40" so I'm going for the new Toshiba 37" WTL66.

I really don't think they'd be offering the HD box for free anytime soon, how long has sky + be around and they still charge for that.

Sorry but i wouldn't be paying £300 for a HD box when there's less than 10HD channels, plus i have no plans to upgrade my Plasma to a HD version just for the purpose of Sky.

Personally i'd wait till it's more worth the money, or it comes down in price.

I know someone who has all of that except hd, And they have never worked a day in their lives. Just as well be on beneefffits innit as he would say.

tath

£809 PA + TV licence and you're looking at almost a thousand quid a year to watch the box!!!!

Chip

Fantastic value. Wonder how many of those whinging about the price of SKY are smokers.

I believe there is also a £60 installation charge now, that's on top of the £299 for the box and £10 a month HD subscription.

Totally agree mate! Absolute outrage the way they take the mick out of 'early adopters'. Slapping 30% more on a sub when 90% of the channels STILL cant be arsed to do basic bl00dy 16:9 widescreen pictures is absurd and a total con.

PS Mine comes on 22nd May and goes against tax I am SO defined

Early Adopters are generally retards ........ they get smacked again and again and still come back for more

As I said above that is why companies like Talk Talk are giving away free broadband.

Within five years we will have HD media centres for the net, voice, content, the works. It will shift from big pipes into our houses with pay for usage content - with a lot of push content.

We will design our own TV channels - a mile away from simple timeshifting - and advertising revenue will be driven by click thru.

So Sky need to make their money now and all the others need to play catch up on the customer base front. Whoever owns the customer relationship will win the multimedia war.

Early adopters indeed - the paradigm has not even arrived yet!
