    My ancient UPC multiroom box appears to have died and a service call is scheduled for this weekend where it is likely a new box will be installed. The old box had only a scart connection, do the new ones have HDMI or are they still scart only?

    HD box or the horizon box has HDMI.

    The SD+ boxes are not HDMI, just scart

    Thanks Davy, the current multiroom box isn't HD or a DVR, just essentially a SD TV tuner. I presume the replacement box will be the same. However, I pay the extra HD subscription for the Horizon box I have on trial, do you think I should request a HD box for the second room?

    <<<<How can I get UPC HD?

    All you need is a HD Ready TV and our HD set top box to enjoy our fantastic selection of channels in HD.>>>>


    My friend recently decided she no longer required the 2nd stb. So UPC removed it but they also took the HD Cisco box which they replaced with a Thomson with no HDMI connection. I thought we were entitled to watch RTE HD & TG4 HD (see above).

    It sounds like she made an assumption that proved to be incorrect. She must have decided to drop her HD subscription thinking that she was 'entitled' (I'm quoting you there) to watch RTE2 and TG4 in HD but UPC decided to call her bluff and leave her with a non-HD box.

    I don't think you are 'entitled' to the basic HD channels if you're not paying a HD subscription.

    Thanks, it was I who thought all customers were in entitled to homegrown HD
    channels . My friend has never subscribed to HD service but received RTE HD & TG4 Hd.
    I pay for BBC, Sky News, MGM etc in HD. I thought I had read on these pages
    that anything available on Saorview had to be on UPC tv. Not HD obviously.
