    So does this HD offer apply to existing customers? I know the Sky+ one doesn't but it doesn't say anything about the HD Box on the website.
    A bit silly really if it does - why would an existing customer pay €149 for SKy+ if they can get HD for the same price??

    €149 for HD and €49 for Sky+ for new customers.

    However, a friend of mine (already a Sky customer) got a quote of the €149 for HD from a local installer, so it's worth asking the question. I got Sky+ for free (installation only) a couple of years during a promotion where you had to but a tv ovr €500 or something like that. I just went to an installer who didn't sell tvs and he did the job.

    Still undecided on this one, but surely HD won't be any cheaper for some time...........problem is the extra €15 a month :(

    €149 +€50 is SKYs price. Some other dealers have quoted me up to €399 + €120 ..
    My advice is stick with SKY . I have never seen a local installer undercut them. Installation from SKY seems quicker as well. Ordered mine Monday evening Installation is tomorrow morning. Any local installers were 2 weeks plus with no definite date.

    Some dealers merely are not partaking in the HD offer, due to the amount of time it can take and hassle to get reimbursed from SKY for equipment etc.

    As with any purchases, shop around.
