got HD fitted on sunday but haven't got a HD telly yet. plus box died and was cheaper than replacing tgat.

just need to see what santa brings

Mis-read that as "taser". Now that might be a way to beat their back-line!

It is getting installed Wednesday, thanks for all your advice

Might be the only chance they have. Just can't help thinking the Aussies will be too good. Hope I'm wrong.

Can you come to our house and do the same for my mrs.?

You'll love HD, I've also got a 42" LG hd t.v and it's superb, particularly when Wigan are on.

Just a word of warning re Sky Hd. As I'm sure you are aware the Hd also incorporates Sky +. Well the Sky + falls over ( I.e you come home to watch the programme you've recorded only to find it hasn't cause the box crashed) at lease 2-3 times more than standard When recording in Hd. For this reason I never record the rugby in HD as it's so unreliable.

I fine that i need to de-static my sky box once a month by unplugging for ten mins or so. That tends to make me not have any fails. Do you do that?

Dont see the point in paying a £10 for a better picture when mine is ok.

Don't pay for the installation !! I didn't

Call them to cancel your sky subscription. Tell them that you want HD but that you feel that you're being ripped off with the additional charges. Offer to take HD but ask them to install it for free. Tell them that you WILL cancel if you don't get this deal. I still paid the £29 fee but got my account credited with the same ammount (the system didn't allow him to give it to me for nothing so this is how we agreed the deal). He had to go off to the speak to the Manager to get it authorised, or maybe he just read his newspaper for a few minutes but i got the deal i wanted in the end.

Hope this helps. Oh and by the way, that step by step guide to get ITV HD was dead easy. Sorted it now. Thanks to the poster.

Did that with sky+....told em if i didnt get it for nowt they could stick it up thier arris.........got sky+ fitted end of the wk.

no I haven't but will give anything a try

Give it a go mate and see how it goes, mine has been fine since ive started to do that.

just ordered hd and was wondering if they run more wires to set this up as all my wires are behind my walls as we had the house plasterboarded and plastered with the wires all now hidden will this be a problem thanks

If you already have Sky+ there's no change. If you don't, they'll need to run a second lead from the dish to the Sky box.

we havnt got sky+ but weve ordered sky+and hd box combined will this still require an extra wire then?

Yes. You'll enjoy having the Sky+ as much as the HD.

cheers mate just didnt want wires showing thats why we put them behind the plasterboard

But i dont think she'll enjoy having the new wires and the living room re-plastered.

Shit happens

Bit of a pain but worth it like I say.

they will be going under the floorboards and how many wires does it take you put wires?

If you already have 1 line down they will install 1 more only. They might fit you a new dish as well depending on how old your old one is.

oh just the one wire its gonna be a nightmare though as my sky box is in the cupboard under the stairs too its rigged up to all the tvs in the house

See what you mean sounds tricky does that. I'm intrigued - do you go to the cupboard eqaach time to change Sky channels ?
