Sky Digital television boasts of over 50 high definition channels, which is much more than the likes of BT Vision and Virgin Media, making it the leader in choice. HD is much sharper and clearer than standard quality – in fact it has four times more detail and a brilliant, vibrant colour along with surround sound.

If you take out the Sky HD package, you will be provided with a Sky + HD Box which contains an output to connect to a HD ready television set, as well as a special Sky satellite receiver.

There are lots of great benefits from choosing Sky + HD. With over 50 HD channels to choose from, it’s more than any other provider, so you can have the best selection of high quality viewing available. The resolution is 720p and 1080i formats so you can choose which to go for. It allows you to record a maximum of 180 hours of standard programmes, or 60 hours of high definition content using the integrated hard disk. It is so simple that it only takes a touch of one button.

You can even watch one channel whilst recording another, or use the Series Link button to keep track of your favourite shows. The on screen programme guide allows you to browse through and select shows to record up to a week in advance. Pausing and rewinding live TV is also another very useful feature, in case you miss a bit or have to answer the phone for example.

It also has an option to watch in 3D which is brilliant for sports or movies, for that extra special viewing experience. Sky + HD customers will automatically be compatible with this new 3D service, although your TV will need to be 3D compatible.

Sky Anytime also allows you access to a selection of on demand programmes, as well as the Sky Box Office feature, for an even bigger variety. You can control your Sky HD set top box via the Internet or from your mobile phone, to give you even more freedom and flexibility.

The installation is simple, as a Sky engineer will visit your house at a time which suits you best, even on a weekend if needed. You will also be given a short demo on how to use the set top box and features and get the most out of your subscription. There are various bundle options and additional packages you can select from as well, so you have a lot of choice. Book your Sky Plus HD Box and get Sky £100 m&s voucher free.

New customers don’t even have to purchase a Sky + HD Box as it comes free, with free installation, if you order online with Sky broadband and phone. The subscription cost is £10.25 per month in order to receive all the HD channels on top of your existing Sky Digital subscription. If you are already with Sky, then the Sky + HD Box will also come free, plus you can receive 5 HD movie channels for less than £4.50 each month, which will save you £5.
