Very comprehensive review with an excellent SD/HD comparison. Just what I wanted to see. I was gutted when I got my Toshiba 37inch 1080p set and connected my Sky+ box to it. The pictures look like digital camera pictures that have been stretched too much. I really appreciate blu ray and am hoping Sky HD will be of similar quality. The deal I got was good too. Didn't want multiroom so called and am paying just £30 for box which I will set up myself. It means I have a spare Sky+ box which I can sell on ebay to cover the £30 easily. Now I am looking forward to 3D tv through the HD box this year. Better save up for a new set. Many thanks to you for your useful review. Hi,

Just ordered Sky HD. my TV upscales SD pictures to near HD quality using in build tech. Will I need to turn this off when watching HD, or should the image still be good? Just worried I might get a few jaggies!!! Dean Hi. Just ordered Sky HD.

I have never tried the RF connection so I'm afraid I can't give you an answer. I think I remember a setting for turning scart on and off, maybe it's linked to that? Sorry I can't help you any more.

Like others I have back fed my tv aerial coax to send Sky around my house to other TVs on a blank analogue channel. This worked fine on my previous Sky and Sky + boxes, but I do not get a signal from my HD box, plugging into either of the RF output coax sockets. I have tried searching across different frequencies for the signal on my other sets. Connecting my main TV coax input via the Sky + box seems to blank the signal on my TV from receiving analogue or DVB channels. Is there a setting turning off the Sky RF connections?

When it's very bad, I turn off sky, wait 2-3mins, un-plug the power, wait 2mins and then plug in again. This normal helps for me.

Before I move the tvs in the house around I would like to check if I would already receive hd in the kitchen (if i had the right tv) or what I need to do if not (I have read stories about HDMI leads). The cable that goes into the tv in the kitchen at the moment goes into the RF IN and says on it UV DIGITAL SAT CBL. Any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated I have just had skyhd installed on my main tv (living room) and would like to receive the hd connection on the tv in the kitchen (at the moment this tv is not hd ready so cannot tell if the connection is already there or not).

If you don’t have an HDTV you won’t be able to fully benefit from the HD quality, but having said that, the image certainly won’t be any worse! You might see some quality increase, but it will be downscaled from HD to SD.
