Now only £75 quid and can blag £30 installation, so now seems as good of time as any to go for it. Anyone with it confirm how good it is or the pros and cons of it?

If you watch plenty of footy then its worth it on its own. (some) movies and a lot of the Discovery stuff is good aswell.

not really a great deal on it tbh.

i have it and agree with cosmo, football is amazing in hd. the way i see it though is if you've got a hd tv you might aswell have the best picture.

Theres fuck-all worth watching on HD at the moment, nobody is buying it hence the price drops.
Ideal for watching the odd footie match but not worth the extra cash tbh.
You have to have a decent package to get the HD feature for free too

I'm going to switch off HD and go for movies instead next time round. It's good if you watch TV in the day or are into your sports.

If you just had the standard cheapo sky package you would have to pay extra to be able to use HD. If you have the full package you do not have to pay extra

I stand corrected then, must have got mixed up with sky+ or something.

Fuck paying an extra £10 though, especially after forking out on the HD box
