    Just wondering has anyone managed to get a deal on their SKY HD subscription? Would love to get HD in but think the 15euro extra is too excessive.Dont live in area where I could avail of NTL but their charges of 5euro extra a month seem quiet reasonable.

    I don't think anyone has. Sky are pretty strict about it.

    HD sports are nice to look at but sadly they don't justify the cost for me anymore.

    Sky's HD line-up is very good, but I agree that the cost is very high. BBC offer a limited HD service for free on Freesat. This includes many of the major sports events they carry. ITV are also expanding their free HD service. You can swap in a Freesat box instead of a Sky one, and you can even record for free! You'll get a good range of channels but you'll need an aerial for th Irish Channels. (Not as bad asit sounds.)

    See here for a list of free channels available. If you do decide to go with Freesat, Richer Sounds do good deals for boards.ie members.
