10 reasons to get sky hd

10 reasons to get sky hd

Posted on September 13, 2009

It seems to me that many of my friends would like to get sky+ hd but are unsure why they would need it, so here is my top ten reasons why you should subscribe to sky+ hd.Who knows you might like it!

1. You have a hd ready tv

If you have a hd television, then you are wasting your time unless you get proper hd broadcasts.Why? you might as well have kept your old standard definition tv.That service is provided by Sky+ Hi-def. there was no point spending all that hard earned lolly on the tv in the first place.

2. Better picture detail

The main benefit of hd is of course the picture quality, you go from a standard picture to full Sky+ Hi-def with twice as much picture detail. You notice things that you would never see like beads of sweat, an actors face with every wrinkle, every pour on their skin, it truly is amazing.

3. Better sound

Sky+ Hi-defbroadcast their hd content with 5.1 surround sound, so if your equipment can handle that kind of quality you will be in for a real treat. I have mine hooked up to 5.1 sony amp with surround speakers and it really does bring movies to life. Jules holland never sounded so good, even with his chas and dave piano plinky plonky sound.

4. More Hd stations than anyone else

Virgin and BBC don’t come close to the amount of high definition channels that Sky+ Hi-def has to offer. The have the largest choice of hd content in the united kingdom. So more choice is better for you.

5. Remote record from anywhere in the world

This is one of my favorite features, you can login to the sky tv schedule and plan out what you want to record and its done. So if you are bored at work, you could spend a couple of hrs planning your weeks viewing, genius.

6. The Sky+ Hi-def box is just £49 with free installation

The cost of the box just keeps falling and at the moment its just £49 making it really affordable compared to the fact it was just under £200 this time last year. Also you get the whole installation free, yup that’s the dish and all the wiring done for nowt.

7. Free Sky+ Hi-def pack for the 1st Month

Limited offer when you sign up you get the first hd month for free, so that’s nearly a tenner you’ll save in the first month.

8. HD Sports

Football on Sky Sports Hd makes standard definition football look so bad you think your eyes have broke. Watch high definition football games and the quality is superb, worth every penny of sky hd. the quality of Sky wins on all counts for football and cricket – for every sport.

9. Sky Movies HD

Lots of movie channels, in fact sky have more than anyone else with more added all the time. Once you start to get use to hd you never want to go back to standard definition and I’d pay the extra £10 a month without hesitation.

10. You can get free broadband when you sign up

Another and final reason is that you can get free broadband, I was paying nearly as much for my old broadband provider as what I’m paying for sky hd now, so I’m spending more in one area but saving in another.
