RE: Sky HD Pricing announced

Having a guy on the inside helps :-)

The only screens they are happy with interfacing with must be labelled
=93H=
D
Ready=94. We have found that the screens that are best used are the Sony
Bravia (which is the one they are promoting) and the best one we have found
is the Sharp Aqeous (about 4-6K). When we sold TVs we were (reliably)
informed that the first set of boxes will have component output but we were
not told whether the box would downgrade the picture to SD or leave it at
HD.

The aqueous (again reliably informed) is the only screen at the moment that
won=92t have interpolation issues (don=92t ask me cos I don=92t know what
i=
t
means).

I hope that helps and as soon as I get more detailed technical info I will
post on here.

I was looking at this too.

They say you have to have a HD Ready system - but anyone know if this means
HDMI / HDCP? My plasma is only RGB/Component but does support HD
resolutions.

The tech info on the sky site is pathetic!

So I reckon that comes out at =A3300 for the box, =A342.50 per month for
th=
e
channels and an extra =A310 a month for the additional HD subscription ...
That does seem quite expensive.

I think I'll wait for then to start doing offers on it. ;-)
