Says on a few websites that release date is tomorrow:

Any of the tekkies please confirm? Do we need a special dish? Will it be tricky to get the hardware moved across (e.g. is a phone connection needed etc etc).
No mad rush - but can I have mine fitted on Wednesday please Grinner :-)
Just I have wanted a SKY+ for some time but have been holding out for the HD version. Says you can run a 2nd TV from the same box but signal will be non-HD which sounds OK to me.

Sky HDTV goes on air from April 2006
High definition TV
i have been reliably informed that Sky will control HDTV even tighter than Sky Multiroom. This means that in order to get a subsidised box you MUST keep it attached to a UK phone line. I am sure BavSat will be able to sell you a box which needn't be attached to a phone line, though, allbet at non-subsidised prices.
Very very true.!
But there will be very limited supplies..

Speaking of such has anyone watched HDTV, is it as good as it says? Our TV is slowly dying and I need to think about buying one soon. Not that it matters but is HDTV available in Germany yet (ie German Television)

I was a skeptic at first. We got the 46 inch LCD TV for Christmas but I was utterly indifferent to High Definition. It sounded like a snow-job to me. But Aaron insisted, so we got the new box and set up the new connection. Within seconds, I was hooked. Not since Gillette's Mach 3 and the iPod (and I add Sky Plus oh how I miss it)have I been as impressed with a new technology. You think it will look better - but not that much better. The best way I can express this is: It is as if they took the lens off the camera.

Problem fixed for $30: I discovered that all the local network stations broadcast a digital signal, some as many as three. So for a trip to RadioShack and $30 for a set of powered rabbit ears, you can get HD for free. That is, if you purchased a set that has a digital tuner. In fact, the picture -- and sound -- seem better than what my neighbor gets on cable.

I am using Kabel Deutschland for my cable. We only have CNN for English channel and am looking to get more channels and especially HDTV channels. Can someone tell me what I need to get? I noticed the last message on this topic was awhile ago. What do I buy with the cheapest method.
Your help is appreciated!
