BBC Through Sky SD Digiboxes

[Tom1882]

My apologies if this has already been done, I did look but I couldn't see anything.

What I'd like to know is if I am going to be able to view BBC HD on my 32WL66 just through a normal Digibox?

Thanks in advance,

Tom.

NO you would need an HD box the SD boxes are not HD capable

Heh, thanks mate.

Any suitable HD box will do. It doesn't have to be a Sky one.

The Pace DS810-XE will receive open broadcast HD without a CAM from the BBC and anyone else broadcasting free to air HD content but CAMs for the likes of Euro 1080 etc. will become available (allegedly).

The big news is that the BBC will be broadcasting free to air for 12 Months as a trial. The BBC's World Cup rights (about 50% of all games) will be free to air on (I think) Eurobird at 28.5'E. The Channel guide will pick this up automatically.

We have been unable to see anything on a Humax 2000 series HD receiver.

And it appears to retail for under £200, which is nice.

Maybe that's because the test service hasn't officially started yet, and the BBC don't want you to see anything ?
