This isn't the exact same info that the OP refers to, but it might be useful to you.

do you think that they will install HD boxes before the official April 1st date?

[Deleted User] · 31/01/06 - 18:19

do you offer a mail order service?

[Deleted User] · 31/01/06 - 20:27

Do you need a special LNB for skyHD?

No, just HD receiver and HD ready TV.

[Deleted User] · 31/01/06 - 22:20

I wonder when we will start to hear of Sonys Partnership. I notice that Premiere Shop in Germany does Finance for all their products, even standard Set top boxes, Sky should do the same.

[Deleted User] · 31/01/06 - 22:30

do you reckon ireland will be at the same time, or will we have to wait like the sky+ service?

Itll work like a sky+ box & i expect unless you subscribe to 2 premium channels theyll charge you extra for the service.

Errrrrrr, I think you'll find that the subscription to High Definition will be payable whatever services you currently subscribe to. That's the "joy" of being an early adopter of new technology; you have to pay extra for it.
