Default Sky hd

Hi folks

As my previous thread suggests, I'm not having much luck with SKY equipment over the last few years, so it leads me to wonder if I do upgrade to HD, is it worth (or indeed possible) to look at purchasing my own equipment - on the basis that it may last 3 or 5 years, unlike the rubbish Sky seem to churn out that lasts 13 months if you are unlucky, 11 if you are lucky!!!

Regards

Dan T

At the moment it is possible to use your own equipment, if not somewhat complicated. Look for a linux based recievers like the Dreambox / AzBox. Sky are trying to stop their cards working with 3rd party recievers o be aware that you will need to keep your SKY box around just incase.
