Its all confusing, but if we forget FTTC which is the cabinet and look at the exchange.

BT might be upgrading their equipment from 8meg (ADSL) to upto 24meg (ADSL2+) but this is not LLU. LLU is where Sky install their own broadband equipment and offer ADSL2+ upto 24meg.

If the exchange is physically small and only handles 2,000 lines or so, it might not have space for third party equipment.

It don't bother me that much i don't actually have the HD pack it dont interest me enough to pay for it at the moment. As most of the channels are on the packs i don't subscribe to. So out of the 50 id only end up with about 12 of them lol that's why i was trying to get it for free lol

My sister and brother-in-law have the HD subscription, I asked my sister a couple of weeks ago if she still thought it was worth a tenner a month, she seems to think so. But then both are working, they can afford it.

I could afford to get Sky and Sky HD, but i don't think Sky have improved from when i had it about 5 years back, it could even be longer than that to be honest.


I keep looking at Sky every week I go to their site and see what is on offer, but then change my mind,

i got HD on Freeview, it is ok, nothing to realyl write home about to be honest, Channel 4 HD is better than BBc, when they have something worth watching in HD.
i have seen Sky HD in a few different places now and again it is ok, but nothing to jump up and down about, but then the content I have seen don't need HD.


i don't record HIGNFY in Hd, no point, just waste hard drive space. But if a documentry came on about the oceans, then I would record that in HD.

I record everything i watch

Now, had you just said "I watch everything I record" I could have seen the point in that. I'm afraid I don't quite see the point in what you said

Dont get me wrong i adore HD got tons on blu-rays and always watch the free HD channels.

But when it comes to sky its not worth paying the extra 10.25 for me because i dont have all the channels i only subscribe to 3 mixes and dont have movies or sports (hate sports and own basically every movie they show on the movie channels on dvd/bluray lol).

So out of the 50 channels sky offer in HD i only got about 12 of them when i did a 1 month trial of the HD pack so it works out at 85P a channel witch dont seam a lot but considering the other 280 channels only come to 22 quid it is lol.

Plus i dont even watch all of the 12 channels i actually got so it was even less value i used that have HD with virgin media and used to watch them all the time but it was free with virgin media so i had it weather i asked for it or not.

I pretty much record everything I watch (barring odd things that I watch "off the cuff"). This is because I time shift everything and watch very little "live". By doing that I skip all the adverts and other gumph and only watch what I want to see.

I don't watch anything as it is broadcasted, ok that is a little lie I do watch the grandprix live and the news now and again, but anything I really want to watch I will record.


I don't watch everything I record, I record some things and think why did I record that and erase it without watching it.

I like Blu-ray as well, I only own on set of Blu0ray disks and that is planet Earth, but I went a lot from lovefilm

Yep, that is obne of the reason I would not pay the extra tenner. If sky got rid of that tenner charge, then it may bring me closer to getting sky, but then again maybe not.

Just more money out per month for something I would hardly use, I do that now for my mobile phone, £25 a month wasted

That is what I do, the problem is I now got a load of simpsons on the box and need to watch them quick,, other wise I will run out of space.

Ah I see, a very odd way of saying "nearly everything I watch has been recorded", which to me is definitely not the same as "I record everything I watch" A question of tense you see.

I agree - 10/mo just for a couple of channels that you can already see as part of your sub in HD is terrible.

would be far better if sky charged £10 but gave you all of the channels in the HD pack - even if you dont already sub to them.

Money for old rope.

BTW zyborg - 25/mo is a joke for a mobile contract..

I pay 7.50/mo for 600mins x-net (ll or mobile), unlimited landline calls (24/7), 500 texts and 3gig internet sim-only on t-mobile!
