I do not have the hd version ,but do have the ordinary sky+ box and there are no problems, however we did have problems with the FIRST sky+ box which was one of their "refurbished" special deal cheap ones,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,this was no good, but the higher grade replacement has been fine for 18 months........................

NHI Duncs.
I've had Sky + HD since it was first release. I've had absolutely no issues with it and would thoroughly recommend it ... Planet earth is absolutely stunning in HD :)

I have been considering upgrading to Sky+ for a couple of years now, but have been put off by a £200 cost and the fact that there never seems to be more than one programme on at one time I may want to watch.

However that aside, I really am thinking seriosly now about it, but have heard that people have had no end of problems with boxes breaking.

Can anyone substantiate this, or is it all media hype?
