678220 2008-06-14 04:47:00 I do believe the only channels that sky will broadcast in HD is sport and movie. Will any of the other channels be upscaled?

Yep. I don't see any justification for spending another $25 / month for four channels that at present I hardly watch. If they were to include the ch 70+ ones I may be tempted..

678221 2008-06-14 09:09:00 They will be showing Tv3 in HD as well and apparently it will be available without the $10 additional fee. So wait and see what the announce? I asked if the TV 3 HD satellite signal could be broadcast as FTA. Tv3 are keen for it but said its up to Sky , so email them requesting it be FTA. apsattv (7406)

How can you justify paying so much for so little!?

678223 2008-06-14 09:33:00 I would be more interested in it if they included the doco channels (discovery, nat geo) in HD. Foxtel HD over in Oz gets them in but we dont? :( simro (13177)
678224 2008-06-14 10:42:00 Sky are greedy.. When the whole world is moving to 16:9 format, They decided to charge for The Rugby Channel in 16:9. I may be a cantankerous of pr**k, according to SWMBO, but because of this, I cancel the sport channel when the rugby stops. Then I quite often forget to have it put back on at the beginning of the season. The probably lose more than they would gain if they played it right and didn't try to rip you off all the time.
