I am paying for the best of the best so i cannot complain. Would rather pay that than £25 for Sky 1 and Sky Sports 1 without HD

The country that invented tellies wouldn't have colour ones? Didn't know we exported them south, wouldn't think yous know how to operate them!(A)
 
Would be nice if there was a price decrease. It costs an extra £21 to get Sky Sports with Virgin.
 
Sky is a huge waste of money.

We pay £21 a month for the basic package, no sports...I wish we didn't.

English television sucks - US Tele rocks.

If I want to watch a football match i'd watch it in the pub.

Paying £70 + TV license a month to watch a television is an absolute outrage, I would have to watch it 15 hours a day to feel I was getting my moneys worth.

Fail Kris, Fail. Should save that money and buy a hat.

I have the same as Kris, and considering the amount of sport thats on, I couldnt complain, it's not just about watching it for 15 hours a day, it's about actually haveing something worth while to watch when you do actually get time to watch TV.

TV prices are a waste. All I ever watch is live football and Match of The Day on TV. Apart from that about 90% of the 'TV' I watch is downloaded shows streamed from my PC.

I wish there was a cheaper way to simply get HD sports rather than all the other **** channels too.

Exactly, English television wise all I watch is MOTD, the news (which I could get online) and maybe the odd program on other channels (random shows like fattest man in Britain). SkySports news is the other I might watch on a morning or in bed at night.

Dexter, House, Heroes, Lost, US Office etc etc... all downloaded.

For my needs, Freeview is more than enough (Terestrial, E4, Dave & SkySports News).

Why would you want HD sports? I don't get the fascination with HD/Blu-Ray...might just be me, not bothered about that kind of stuff. I understand if it's a film which would be particularly good in better quality, but sports?

There is a big difference. Well for me anyway. I have ESPN HD and also BBC HD when they have matches (like last night). Watching poor standard definition football on a HDTV is awful as there is so much pixelation around the players.
 
Just had a chat with a 'Sky Advisor' about getting Sky Sports with them. The cheapest HD deal he could do me for Sky Sports & ESPN was £56. £18 of that was simply for standard Sky Sports (non-HD). I asked how come Virgin offer Sky Sports for only a few pound extra. Baffles me.
 
This may be slightly off topic, but does anyone want Freeview streaming online and on iPhone, its 100% legit www.tvcatchup.com
 
I use TV Catchup online and Iplayer all the time.

Use iplayer on my phone. HTC Hero, doesn't have TV Catch Up application yet, although I use it in the browser.

It is not an official App on the iPhone but it is a WebApp, like iPlayer so it has a nice logo if you save it as a Shortcut to Desktop.

Meh well then you should weigh up the financial advantages, or disadvantages (or future financial implications) of buying a HD tv before you do.
 
i either go to the game (i can walk to Celtic Park in less than 30 minutes) or watch it in a pub, as i don't own a telly;p
