They are very good, The picture quality is very clear.

If i had a bigger screen, 30 or 40 inch, i would proberly have very impressive picture quality

I am glad i ordered the HD pack

ESPN HD and Sky Sports HD have the same quality picture on my TV. It is still very good. I will now enjoy my Premiership football

Re: Who's signed up to sky hd channels?

Despite my original thoughts i would not be ordering the HD channels i have now given them a try for a month i was switched on in 40 mins,and the test cricket repeat does look reasonably impressive on SSHD1,yes there is quite a difference in picture quality,but at least if i only take it until the cricket season is over shall see how it goes,£7 is pricey for just the two HD channels but there you go

Delivery is still awaited here just south of Croydon. It's a bit like waking up on Christmas morning and finding nothing in the sack at the foot of the bed.

Sky Sports HD channels are superb here in Glasgow. Any word as to when we will receive both HD3 and HD4 as I am a keen fan of WWE Wrestling.
