Pay for TV (apart from the licence fee)??? Who in their right mind would do that?

Freesat’s a great innovation, but at the moment there are only two HD channels on it. It’ll probably get more than just BBC and ITV HD soon, almost certainly before Freeview does. But right now it’s not exactly HD heaven.

Is Freesat not worth a mention, then?

Yep, I don’t see the point really. I still watch the same programmes whether HD or not. I’m not paying out for a new TV, a PS3 and a Sky HD box. Then having to pay an increased subscription and for what? a clearer picture that can only be noticed on a tv above 37 inches.
When my tv breaks i will probably get one but I hope my old one lasts another 5 years personally. Each to there own though

For me to get HD, I’d need to buy a new TV (£1000), a Sky HD Box (£150) and my Sky subscription will go up an additional £120 a year.

Looks like I’ll be watching terrestrial TV for the next few years.

I can always go into Curry’s and watch it there for 5 minutes every week or so anyway.
