My folks have been with sky for years now, but their + box is starting to misbehave, even after resetting it fully (engineer reset which then calls sky to update the firmware!) on more than one occasion... as they have a HD tv, I wondered if anyone in the world of STW was/is aware of any good deals on HD?
thanks in advance (as always!)

I'm in the same boat. My Sky+ box is becoming a PITA. Recordings won't all play properly, lots of missed ones, some that never seem to stop recording etc.
I've called to 'register' for a HD box - they are talking about 9 weeks or so for existing customers. £49 for the new box though. Brand new customers get one straight away.
I'm considering buying a Sky+ HD box off fleabay for ~£140. You can get BBC HD and ITV HD without the £10 / month 'HD' sky sub, apparently.
you won't get ITV HD on a sky box. It's freesat only.
Someone told me COMET are doing the box for £25 ! Have a look on-line maybe...
ITV = Nesbitt TV, does anyone really watch anything on ITV?
Yeah, the comet 'deal' is the same as the ebuyer deal, buy a HD TV and its cheaper... but we already have a HD TV 😉
My local Curry's Digital has a sign promotiong the box for £29 and free installation. Don't know what the small print is, probably new customers only.
SKY are doing the HD+ plus box for £49 at the moment. Cost of installation varies depending if you are an existong or new customer. Mines being fitted next week.
