Sky are now only showing GOLF in HD and other sport like Cricket are no longer in High Definition.
The upcomming Australia vs West Indies and subsequent Australia vs Pakistan Cricket series from Australia will be in SD unlike last year. Sky basically have told me that they cannnot afford to show NRL, Cricket, Tennis or Soccer in HD so they spend their money on Golf which is "the most viewed sport on Sky".
So MySky seems to be repeated Movies, Channels you can get on Freeview and GOLF in HD and nothing else. Tomorrow Morning the Kiwi's vs France game is available in HD but Sky are choosing to show it on Sky Sport 3 in SD.
I received an email the other day saying this:
SKY currently offers seven High Definition television channels on SKY Digital including SKY Sport 1, SKY Sport 2, SKY Movies and SKY Movies Greats and free-to-air HD channels TV ONE, TV2 and TV3.
There are no plans to add an additional High Definition channel at this time; however High Definition is a feature of our service and therefore we continually review the viewership and the availability of High Definition content for each of SKY’s channels.
Which means that Sky will not be upgrading any more channels in the near future. So all those wanting Discovery HD, Nat GEO HD can keep dreaming. Foxtel have added so many more HD channels to their existing lineup and Sky are doing nothing, instead are looking to increase their profits.
Those who want to vent their frustration can email CEO John Fellet at: jfellet at skytv.co.nz
I am disconnecting my MySky and I give up on Sky and HD.
