speedy23: Does the Vu Duo upscale?
speedy23: Also, is the EPG automatically set up for NZ if I buy over here?yeah this data is open so you'll be fine with NZ channels at least.
grant_k: Vu+ Duo will receive in HD (DVB-S2) if you are a Sky subscriber

Just to confirm, there was some confusion here early on....
Do you get access to TV1, TV2 and TV3 (and sports if you've got that option) in HD on the basic sky plans?
- i.e. I have Sky basic and sports, but not my sky recorder and not an HD ticket, Do I still get HD for some channels using the card in the Vu+ Duo?

TV1/2/3 are all available in HD on the Basic Sky plan which I am on (I don't have any HD ticket).
However, I paid the $599 upfront fee for MySky some years ago, which included the blue Sky card starting with 45, that is necessary for use with Vu+ Duo. If you have an older PACE decoder, you probably don't have that card, although some of the later small decoders coloured silver did include the 45 card. Having the correct smart card is the key issue as to whether you can make use of Vu+ Duo with Sky or not.
I don't have the Sport option, so can't tell you about that. When Soho launched in November, it was also available in HD until they restricted it to subscribers only at the end of November.

I defer to your experience. My reply was based on what SKY told me by phone last time I enquired.
grant_k:This FAQ from Sky makes it pretty clear:
