rjgreen4 Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Just signed up to sky HD, being installed this thursday will it come with a HDMI lead? and everything ready to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Yep. They supply an HDMI cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drpellypo Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Does Sky HD work over component btw? I didn't think to stick an HDMI port on teh Plasma, and now all the cables are chased in the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyb Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Yes it does and I cannot tell any difference between component and HDMI when viewing SKY HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My set up uses component and the PQ is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bells0 Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Don't bother spending lots on a hdmi cable, won't improve the picture like it would with a non digital source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizze Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Component is actually cleaner than hdmi on the Sky HD box, goes through extra chips to get converted to hdmi, noiser in the blacks and darker areas, and you may loose control of colour using hdmi too and the Sky box is far too over saturated so if you can't dial it down on you screen it doesn't look very natural at all.

DHA Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 How did you get that deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjgreen4 Posted June 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Used to have sky, moved house last September. Got my wife to ring up and pose as a new customer, told her that we did not want an installation charge and said that we would sign up to HD if we could have the box for free, no budge on that but got £100 off it, ended up paying £199 for the job lot when it should have been £299 for the box and £60 installation price. Funny thing was. she has zero business/negotiating skills and her knees where buckling, she felt awful afterwards thinking we had ripped them off by £100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
