    sorry for asking again but i just want to be clear. if I call upc and ask for an up grade to a hd box and move my existing digital box to another room will i be only charged an extra fiver per month for this?? if so, it sounds like a winner.
    ps, does the hd box have the ability to record programmes to watch later and can it pause live tv??
    thanks
    €10

    The HD box is €5 extra and it's €5 to add on multiroom.

    As regards the HD box yes it's a full recording Digital Plus box.

    I was thinking of moving from Sky to save a few quid but I've heard their TV is not great, and they don't have Sky Atlantic HD.

    Personally wouldn't, I only moved to UPC because I couldn't get Sky in my apartment. You will rip your hair out and scream to yourself why it just can't be as good as Sky. I can't emphasise how much better the Sky performance and usability is, and that's before you talk about signal quality.

    Unless you're circumstances have changed and your budget is the same I would HIGHLY recommend to stay with Sky

    I'll be staying with Sky I'm with them over 10 years, but is UPC that bad? I have broadband and phone with them which I have to say is excellent.

    It might be me, it might be my telly but i've noticed that the sound on the HD channels are way lower than on the standard channels. Anyone else noticed this?

    And sorry for bumping an old thread. :o
