Fw: [OT] SKY - There is a technical fault with this channel please try again later.

Must admit, I dont have any interest in HD - half the stuff (if not
more)=20
Sky show on the HD channels is only SD anyway=20

Even then - =A340/month still isnt worth it. We're just subsiding the=20
Football league

Series link stuff will be there soon for Freeview and Topfield and Humax=20
devices (supposedly the best) will have these features. Might not be as=20
slick as Sky, but free. Nice they have Component out too :-)

you think if you do go this route. I do like the HD channels though with=20
Sky HD - getting better all the time.
