I think some people on here are expecting a few unknown free channels to suddenly appear from nowhere; showing live Premier football, new Attenborough quality documentaries and the very latest Hollywood movies. Sadly just not going to happen. Ofcom already documented in a report why not. Pay for $ky.

Like all the pay channels on Sky like GOLD how many times have they shown fools and hoses or fawlty towers and not just gold but all the other pay channels too. a waste of money.

I know these channels are just rubbish but at least they’re free. I was with Sky and all their pay channels are crap too , a waste of money.Give them time in the long run better chammels may well come on board too. But I quite like Men and Motors and the Zone channels and some of the music channels too. Some of the music channels are just as good as MTV and VH1. But yes I would hope that there will be some documentary channels coming on eventually.

But don’t forget.. HDMI means.. High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a form of digital copy protection developed by Intel Corporation to prevent copying of digital audio and video content…

Yes am using an HDMI lead. I didn’t actually say SD & HD looked the same I said it was difficult to differentiate between some of the programming. A common fault with some people is they buy too large a set for their room and/or sit too close!

Michael, nice TV but if SD & HD material look the same on your TV something must have been set up wrong, using a HDMI lead I hope?. I have a Sony W2000 40″ and the difference between SD and HD material is massive.

Fingers crossed for 4HD soon, and a dedicated ITV HD channel (I know I’m dreaming!).

As with most things you get what you pay for. Sky HD with a premium channel is well over £500 a year. If you watch a lot of TV then it may be worth it, but if your TV viewing is just a few hours a week then freesat is much better value.

And it doesn’t matter how many channels are available, you can only watch one at once.

Yes Barry I am, if it means I get to watch HD, as much as I love BBC HD, I am very disappointed with ITV HD and getting fed up waiting for Channel 4 HD to make an appearance. Afraid my free sat HD receiver is going to be moved to bedroom. I very much believed in the ethos behind free sat but, its true what they say if you want quality you have to pay for it and Sky has the best choice of HD content available in the UK.
I purchased the Bush Free Sat HD because I want to watch HD programming, otherwise I could have saved myself £70 and got the Standard Def version. If you like home shopping and like to gamble your life away then stick with free sat, but its going to be a long time before any new quality channels appear, in my opinion!
