Sky HD

kippy

Hi Guys,
Currently have multiroom NTL.
Was thinking of getting an AZboz for some FTA channels and all else it brings however the missus likes a few channels that are not available free.
That leaves me with the only option of getting in Sky. They have a pretty good deal at the moment with the free + box etc. I have a 40 inch full HD LCD in the living room and am looking at getting the HD box.
Can anyone advise if the box is any good, how much extra per month the HD costs, and if the HD is pointless without the sports and movie channels?

I'll probably get the AZbox for the bedroom at some stage, will this work off the same satellite that sky uses(what channels are available)

Any guidance/help appreciated.

What IS an azboz then? Need a receiver for a bedroom and have the sky set up (works great, by the way, and always have the dish and receivers should we change the mind, or whatever, which is cool enuf)

yes it will .

the skyhd costs 15 per month on top of the basic sub.

Getting it in on Monday.
I have a landline in the house but it comes into the house two floors up and I dont have a connection in the living room. We use a wireless phone off the initial junction box.
I assume the installer will have cable that can be run between box and junction box?
Also, is there any "wireless" device that I could get to send a signal between the sky box and phone junction box? I assume not.

Just for anyone who may find themselves in this situation, got a remote phone thingy in Maplins today. If it does what is says on the tin it should be grand.
