[QUOTE="Alan F, post: 589742, member: 195354"] Hi:-) Apologies if this question has been asked already but I still wasn't quite clear in my head having read the FAQs. I am considering getting an HDTV to replace my ageing CRT. I live in an area with an appalling conventional analog signal, and from what I hear things are not going to improve with the digital rollout. Therefore I currently subscribe to Sky, and find their prices excessive, particularly as I am a cricket fan and most mainstream cricket is now only on Sky (despite the government's promise that mainstream sports would remain on terrestrial TV!). I refuse to pay Sky a further £10 a month for their HD package. I would certainly be interested in getting HD via the FreeSat system, and don't object to paying their installation feel, providing there is no long-term rip-off for monthly payments. My question is [B]Can I receive HD with FreeSat and still keep my Sky package and my Sky Plus box? [/B]If so, would I receive it via my Sky minidish, or am I going to need a complicated set up with 2 satellite dishes, 2 set top boxes, and difficulty setting all this up so that all systems work through the same TV? Thanks Alan [/QUOTE]
