To celebrate the launch of a new decade, Sky Digital TV is going out with the old, and in with the new! Due to advances in technology, Sky has decided to discontinue their regular Sky+ set top boxes and only provide HD+ boxes for new customers. This doesn’t mean that all new customers HAVE to order HD, it’s merely allowed Sky to prepare for the speed in which technology is moving at the moment.

It won’t be long until every home has a 3D TV, and having just been to watch Avatar myself last night, I’ll be looking forward to that day! But in the meantime, with more and more people choosing HD as standard, Sky has decided to follow suit. High Definition allows the viewer to experience television in far sharper detail, with superb quality sound. With the demand for HD growing significantly in the last 12 months, you can now get closer to the action and see the latest blockbuster movies in your living room with crystal clear clarity. Plus if you order today you can now receive -

• Free Standard Set Up
• Free £25 M&S Voucher

High Definition is soon to become the standard format of many TV’s across the country, so why not join the revolution today and order your HD+ set up and £25 M&S voucher absolutely free?

Several media outlets have reported that BSkyB are planning to offer a standalone broadband service on the back of their successful “See, Speak, Surf” TV, Phone and Broadband bundle and taking their ongoing war with Virgin Media a step further.

Although no official comment has been made from the Sky camp, it is believed that they are planning to offer their broadband service to prospective customers without a satellite television subscription. Indeed it is believed that Sky have been testing their standalone broadband service for some months although as yet, there is no launch date for the product hitting the consumer market.

Broadband, TV and phone bundles are currently all the rage with Virgin Media currently leading the way with their “Quad Play” packages which also include mobile phone as part of the multi media bundle. BT have also recently launched BT Vision which is a Freeview platform that works with their BT Total Broadband Home Hub and Tiscali TV is also launching throughout the country as we speak. TalkTalk are also offering a FREE Freeview box and 2 months FREE subscription to Sentanta Sports as part of their broadband and international talk packages.
