How does the sky hd pricing work

colinod

my package on sky plus at the moment is the 6 "mix" packages plus sky sports 1

if i stay with this package, do i get the sky sports 1 hd for my extra €15 , or will it cost me even more to get the sky sports 1 hd

the cheaper box is looking tempting at the moment, but want to know the price of channels

Of course not, otherwise most of us would switch to HD. All you'd get with the 6-mix package is Sky One HD, BBC HD, Rush HD, Luxe HD...(probably forgot some).
You still need to pay for the premium channels (not to mention the cost increase from September on). It is utterly annoying to pay this extra 15€ on top of buying the HD box. It makes people like me waiting for PVR-HD Freesat receiver...

so do i need to have sky sports 1 before i have the priviledge of ordering sky sports 1 hd or can i get it sky sports 1 hd and cancel my sky sports 1

The way i understand it is, you just pay the €15 extra per month on top of what you pay now and whatever you are able to view now (sky sports etc) if there is a HD version of that channel than you can view that one too.
You can not cancel your own sky sports as you will then not be able to view the HD version.

so basically ill get the package i have at the moment plus sky sports 1 hd for an extra €15

Yes, you do need to have Sky Sports 1 before you can even watch it in HD, I reckon if you have Sky Sports 1 AND a HD subscription (15€), and the HD box, you can watch Sky Sports 1 HD. Just like if you have the Variety mix, you can get Sky One, and if on top of that you have a HD subscription/Box, you can get Sky One HD.
The HD subscription and the channels packages you have are 2 different things.
I'm curious, how much do you pay for Sky sports 1 on its own?

i think its 47 euro for the 6 mixes and sky sports 1

so if i get the sky hd with 6 mixes and sky sports 1 an SS HD 1. my bill will be €62...correct?

dhaumi

Correct indeed. Hopefully they decrease or cancel that HD subscription. Maybe next summer...
