I’m not even in the UK at the moment, but I’m from there, and I got curious as to what exactly Sky are offering in terms of HD content, compared to all the lovely High Definition televisions that are available. After a couple of glasses of orange juice and a quarter tube of Pringles, I came to the conclusion that Sky HD should be renamed Shy HD. Why?
This is why! This is the huge selection (sarcasm) of channels available on their HD service:
- Sky Sports HD
- Sky Movies HD
- Sky One HD
- Sky Arts HD
- National Geographic HD
- Discovery HD
- Sky Box Office HD
- BBC HD
- The History Channel HD
I know it takes companies a while to catch up with consumer demand, but I don’t see why people would spend extra money for such little benefit. At the moment, the people who watch a lot of sports and movies are the only people that will benefit. But what about my 75yr old Gran? I’m sure even she will get bored of the Discovery Channel and The History Channel sooner or later! Right?
But one thing I do like about their box, is the ability to record in HD and watch everything again, and again, and again. But, with so little choice I don’t see this as a good thing once you get past the initial ‘Oh my god, I’ve got Sky HD‘ phase, which will no doubt last about 1 week.
