I am sure SKY are aware of the way people can watch SKY without a digibox so it would be very easy to tie any HD subscription directly with a SKY+ HD purchase, no need for expensive NDS upgrades to Videoguard to make those methods obsolete (for a time).

Personally i'll wait to see what kind of content, and if the quality is good enough, before committing to SkyHD.
Well you can watch current Sky with the right software by sticking your card in one of these USB readers.

I'd be willing to run it through my computer for the sake of a few channels.

I've just heard via a reliable source at a SKY 'conference' / presentation today in Edinburgh that HD will be released in July 2006. Is this old news??

Of course I would love my source to be wrong. We'll just have to wait and see!
