ORIGINAL: Your Funny Uncle I took the plunge yesterday and ordered Sky+ HD £49 for the box, free £25 Tesco voucher and £120 cashback via quidco. That £120 pays for the HD subscription charge of £9.75 every month, pretty pleased with that as a deal to be honest. Just hope it's worth it, I do only have a 32" LCD at the moment but am looking to get a 46" in the not too distant future. Is there anything I should know about Sky HD in general or for when the installer comes? Any tips would be apprieciated. I wouldn't worry too much about upgrading your TV, Sky HD only outputs at a maximum of 720p/1080i, there's no 1080p. However your Xbox would look very nice on a new bigger TV. One thing it's not advice, but you will notice it and sort of hate Sky HD for it, is football, once you've seen it in HD, you'll hate having to then watch matches on none HD channels like ITV and Setanta, the difference in quality is staggering and you'll actually wonder how you actually coped with SD football in the first place, it really does just look blurry when you go back to it. Also, I'm glad to see someone else use quidco, what a great site, you may not get much, but this year I've already earnt £80 cashback, and when you receive it, it just feels like a little extra payday, it's great Really, I thought it was 1080p, nevermind though I'm sure it'll look sweet in 720p. The main reason for a new TV is the fact my living room has doubled in size since we moved house and the 32" just looks far too small for my liking, I can hardly see it from the dining table Looking forward to watching some HD football although I would go and buy it when the season is almost finished I've read there's a way to get ITVHD as a channel on your SkyHD box so it's just Setanta that will annoy me then as BBC and ITV broadcast theirs in HD. Quidco is a great site, I don't understand why some people don't use it more often, if I'm buying something from the net I always check to see if they're listed on quidco first, every little helps and all that The majority of my cashback is yearly insurance and things. Just this month I've tracked £70 cashback from 'more than' for my contents insurance premium which was £130, so in theory I'm getting my contents insurance for £60. Oh, and the £120 from sky. Only when you get the new EPG. Which is some time later this year. If it will still be available then as ITVHD is supposed to be Freesat exclusive, this loophole will be closed , I imagine
