new sky box?

[Ploppy1999]

just wondering i want a new sky+ box as mine has started jumping and now not recording programs properly. If i upgrade to sky+ HD i have to pay an extra £10 per month to get a free box, as i have a HD TV can i not just buy myself a sky+HD box at the extra cost and not pay the £10 per month but will all the channels be in High Def?

You can get the Sky HD + Box for free but they will charge you accordingly for the priviledge of watching the HD Channels. They have you by the short and curlies in other words.

Thought it might be cheaper in the long run to just pay for the box.

I have a Sony HDTV but have opted out of the Sky HD+ Package for now because of cost. Instead I have Sky+ which I am happy with, plus the fact that my TV has a superb picture as it is. It's all down to costs Ploppy1999 and what you can afford.
