Andy Rumored launch date is late april early may/ rumored price = £299 for box plus £10 per month subscription for a limited number of channels.
You have probably noticed HD channels on your sky tv guide popping up.

Andy,

It's the resolution of the screen that matters whatever size it is mate. Must be capable of displaying at least a 1280 * 720 image to be truly "HD Ready". Owt else will only be displaying a downscaled image. Watch out for stuff that is "HD compatible" that is a totally different kettle of fish and usually only means it has the relevant connections.

Have a look over on AVforums.com for ongoing debates about SKY-HD. As Jas states there is still nothing concrete but all rumours seem to point to a launch in around 6 weeks time at a cost of £300 plus an extra tenner on the subs. Get down to Comet and pre-register for a box as they are likely to be sparse at launch.

Cheers,

Dale
