Probably the most speculated upon question on these forums! Truth is that nobody knows for sure at the moment..

Sky, they twist my brain; i pay 45 of my not so hard earned cash every month for crap tv and decent sport to be led down a garden path! I spent 4 minutes on the phone to a machine! How many more have done the same? We all know HD is out this year cause we've all registered, and sold our mothers to buy a hd ready tv only to find that sky want to bleed us dry just because we want 3 channels of high quality crap! I mean, how good is "Down with love"????!!!!! Telewest; if your reading this, yorkshire is really easy to cable up!!Honest

Right, rant over!!!!

im watching sky movies 9 and 10 on my telewest HD pvr its on from 5pm till 3 am

Anyone checked some of the prog descriptions on the HD movies? Some have the tag 'HD' while other have 'AD' instead, and some have neither... surely they should all be HD at the very least... and 'AD'? What could that mean? Something to do with HDMI/copyrighted films?

I think it means Audio Description. For partially sighted people.....

Yep - if you select narrative from the HELP button (which also gives you the subtitles option) you get additional commentary on some programmes (flagged as AD).

This is extra information that is spoken by a narrator in the gaps in dialogue, where visual events are taking place that would be useful to know about for plot reasons. ("He looks at her cheekily", "She picks up the knife" etc.)

By law - a certain percentage of terrestrial stuff has to carry this (just as signing and subtitling also have minimum requirements). Not sure if these have been legally extended to satellite.

Ah, never seen it before, assumed the D stood for definition!

I've currently got the basic sky box with the full programme package. Will i have to buy a new sky HD box or something to get HD, How much roughly will it be and does that increase your monthly subscription???????????????????

If it does they can stick it!

bayards · 13-02-2006, 2:27 PM

Dirk - prepare to stick it. No firm news from Sky - but yes a new Sky+ HD box is definite and monthly sub is expected....
