There have been quite a few changes at Sky TV this week – they’re calling it Supertelly! It’s all about HD now, and the Standard and Sky+ boxes have all but disappeared in favour of the Sky+HD Box, which is now the box you get with all new contracts, you then choose whether or not to take the HD Pack which gives you the HD channels.
The HD Pack costs £10 a month but if you take it out the Sky+HD Box is free with free set up (normally £49+£30), so over a 12 month contract it’s only £41 more expensive – worth considering. The Standard Sky Digibox is still available but only as part of Multiroom (one of the Sky TV packages), whereas the Sky+ Box has gone – history. One to look out for if you’re really into your telly is the new Sky+HD 1TB Box – it has a terabyte of storage for video (240 hours of HD) and costs £249, more on that in a future post.

It was still a tough decision to switch.
New Supertelly offer aside, there wasn’t much between Sky and Virgin Media as far as price was concerned.
In terms of television bundles, they were both fairly evenly matched as far as I could see. Quantity was an entirely different matter. Sky surged into the lead with its abundance of digital channels – 264 compared to Virgin’s 65 – and even further into the lead with it’s superiority in the HD market.
At the moment, Sky gives you 37 HD channels. Virgin gives you 7.
However, Virgin Media hauled Sky back, almost level, with its amazing on-demand service.
