I am pretty sure we don't have the HD ticket, I have checked the bill and it doesn't appear on the telecom or sky bill.

But.. The Rugby last week looked pretty good but on the replay on SS3 it looked crap!

So, without ringing sky and asking them, how can I tell?

I have a 37" HD (not full) tv connected through HDMI

Cheers

Hi,

The SKY channels will have HD in their title. E.g 31 Sky Sport 2 HD

If you have multiroom they waive the $10 fee.

Oh great. I now find I am an unwitting sponsor of gumboots HD ticket... Lucky you are a rellie or I would be sending the black Sky helicopters to land on the front lawn!

My views (except when I am looking out their windows) are not those of my employer.

Used to have multiroom, don't anymore - but still not charged for the HD ticket.

so does that mean that if you have multiroom and a SKY HDi box you get free HD content?

Yes it is "free" if you have multiroom but obviously it cost more for multiroom than it would for HD as a stand alone product.

I understand that but as we have multiroom anyway this seems to be a good deal.

Only if you have a MySky HDi.
