You've probably seen the ads
http://www.vodafone.co.nz/tv/vodafone-tv/

Offering "HD at no extra cost"

But in the fine print... "HD access requires HD capable TV and you must subscribe to HD channels"

Isn't that extra cost ?

Confusing ?

Misleading ?

Scam ?

 It's simply saying VF are not going to charge you extra to get HD like sky do on their premium channels.

"HD access requires HD capable TV" - States the obvious.... We'll broadcast HD to you but you're not going to be able to benifit from it if you have a non HD TV.


"you must subscribe to HD channels" You're not going to get any HD broadcast if you're not subscribed to a channel that is in HD, Everyone is automaticly subscribed to channels on Freeview that are in HD,

ilovemusic:
l43a2: if you want to get HD on sky for sports etc you got to pay 10 buks EXTRA; but on Vodafone that fee isnt charged.... which is good :P


^ best reply so far..

what the other hd channels that sky charges extra for ?

also waived on vodafone ?



Sky charges a HD ticket fee so basically all channels. VF don't charge the HD ticket so again all of them




Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.
