Sky HD

Thanks, that clears up what I originally tried to type, so normal stereo over HDMI is fine but for 5.1 you still need optical input.

Yep.

For those with SkyHD do you also geet access to BBC1 and ITV HD service?

BBC HD is there in the EPG, but you need to manually add the ITV HD channel.

I got SKY HD at the weekend, actually watched the mummy as soon as it switched on as the pricture was so good.

I'm in the market for a decent surround sound amp now, think I will get the boss acoutimas speakers.

I know of a second-hand Denon AVR-2307 going for a bargain

Hmmm, I can see my replacement Amstrad having "issues" and requiring a replacement within the next few weeks.

Had Sky HD, got rid as the cost was mounting up and during bench time, costs have to cut. Plus it was a rip off, with multiroom something like £70 a month.

So I ditched it, got a Humax Foxsat HD PVR on Freesat+ and never looked back. Apart from cost of box monthly costs are zero, and it even has iPlayer on it now after last firmware.

Football I can watch on't t'internet or even better, in the pub. Wonder if you can actually go to the grounds and go inside and watch? Some people must do, I can see them on the telly. Wanderers are never on Sky anyway....

Movies - t'internet or flicks.

When do you folks watch all this TV?

Don't have Sky here, don't have the time to watch it I guess...

How does that work? Does it come from the satellite, or does it need to be connected to the internet?

Are the barstewards still charging an extra 10 quid a month for the privilege of HD?
