Sky HD Box ?49 ...one day not very soon

The adverts don't tell you there's a three month wait..good old Sky..ever the bollocks.

Must be recent, my sister got it in about six months ago and they were fairly quick. They did fanny about with the broadband though. Its supposed to be five quid a month for broadband as part of a package but they gave her shit about she`ll pay ?30 for the first 3 months

probably low on stock as they've just replace 90,000 faulty boxes. Took me 3 days from order to installaition back in November.

Personally I wouldn't have Sky if it was free and they said they'd put it in tomorrow.

Yeah ?49 for the box and a couple of grand a year to watch their pish in HD ... no thanks boyos.

Is it really worth it though..?
I'd rather have Sky+ than Sky HD +.

As much as I hate Sky, Sky HD is fantastic if you have a large TV and decent surround system. Watching an action movie, footie, documentories etc is superb.
Its disappointing watching normal non HD telly once you get used to it.

Paying a tenner per month (per box) soon bumps up your monthly subscription and gets expensive if you have several multi room boxes.

I wouldn't worry about the 3 month wait it's a load of crap,they told me 10 weeks before i could book it then 10 days later emailed me to say i could book it for the following week.
For me it's well worth it if you watch alot of sport or movies.
