Anyone know if you can connect sky HD via DVI?

Use an HDMI to DVI leadthanks!

You'll need to use the optical output for sound though.

£49 for the box is a good deal (free install too) but I grudge paying the £9.75 per month for the HD Subs.
I think i'll leave it for a while yet & see if they do away with the extra subscription costs.
And i just realised the £9.75 does not get you HD movies, so i am wondering if i can cancel my standard definition movie pack, and only have HD movies, keeping the cost the same as it is now..anyone know?I think i'll leave it for a while yet & see if they do away with the extra subscription costs.

So not using the red and white cable that I currently use? it's going straight to a Sony cinema system that's quite old, thanks!If your surround processor is not DD compatible (no TOSLink or SPDIF) then you are losing nothing by connecting via stereo RCA

If that is the case, i will sign up today. I don't think it is
It is.If you are subscribed to movies you get HD movies.
If you have sports you get HD sports.
Freebies are BBC HD/Channel 4 HD. Plus the arts/discovery channels if you picked them in your original mix.
I have just come up against another barrier, not for the first time. The sky website will not allow me to create an account no matter which browser i use! I just keep getting time out errors. If you call to ask them to sort it out, they just tell you you can do it on the phone for £200...if you are having trouble using the website

You can convert TOSLink to SPDIF however with a converter box.
If its got an optical input, you're good to go.
Good post
Just registered, although the system seemed to be a bit cheeky in adding multiroom for an additional £9.75 per month - had to reverse a step and take that bit out - which then caused my £30 setup fee to be included
Still, £49 plus £30 setup doesn't seem too bad
I wonder how long we'll be waiting..?

It is still not £49 and free set up, as advertised???Just registered, although the system seemed to be a bit cheeky in adding multiroom for an additional £9.75 per month - had to reverse a step and take that bit out - which then caused my £30 setup fee to be included

How do they get away with this type of thing, dealing with anyone is a minefield these days

I can only assume that free setup sneekily involves taking multiroom too - ah well, still a good price.
