This thread is for ongoing discussion of the new High Definition service from Sky, Sky HD , and for discussing the revolution of HDTV in general.

A number of HD Channels are already confirmed, with many more to be announced over the coming months.
Those already confirmed are:

Viewers will have to purchase a new HD box, which is black with a silver streak running across the front of the box - Sky+ features will also be available to those who get the new HD box, in conjunction with a Sky+ subscription.
The new remote is similar to the existing Sky+ silver remote, with a more 'angular' front and with black running the length of both sides.
Will anyone be getting this service from launch?
