It seems highly mean that an HD box costs 300+ squid, when surely SKY
buy them in for a fraction of that price?  And no, I don't wanna
subscribe to your tenner extra a month package, Mr Murdoch, to watch
sky one animations in HD or lions hacking down wilderbeast in hd on
Discovery...I just wanna see the main bbc/itv channels in HD thx.

Anyone haggled a good deal?

the new panasonic viera has a built in HD freeview tuner, try that (might be 
a bit more than the sky box I suppose)

A SkyHD box is now down to £0 (awith 30 install - down from £60) if  people
commit to EITHER (or both) Sky Movies 1 or Sky Movies 2 for 12 months (as
a "Christmas offer")

No, it has an in built HD Free*Sat* tuner, as do some of the Sony Bravias now.

There are currently no HD Freeview receivers available yet, they are due Early 
2010.
