Can I use a Sky+HD box with a non-HD TV?

sueharris

sounds daft I know....but we do not have an HD TV (will get one in the future but not yet)

However our Sky box is about 10 years old and needs to be updated.

The best Sky box offer for existing customers is actually for the Sky+HD box so it makes sense to go for this option but I need assurance that it will work with a non-HD TV (I know we won't be able to watch the HD channels)

many thanks

Yes, just connecect it to your tv via scart, and you will be able to watch the hd channels, just not in HD lol

But wont this mean you will have to pay an additional monthly fee, even though you can't use HD?

It may be wise to consider a replacement standard box....plenty of new & used available on Ebay!

Certainly Sky+ is worth upgrading to but why pay for what you cannot use?

Yeah thats correct, £10 extra for everything I think

You can use an HD box without the HD premium, just that you won't get the subscription HD channels, only the FTA and FTV HD ones along with your standard package channels.
