They're compressed to within an inch of their lives, maybe not all but for an example I watched Sly Sports F1 in SD at the weekend, and it just looked so bad. Obviously this is subjective, but it's not just the resolution that's lower, the picture quality is also reduced... it makes analogue TV look good! Still, better than nowt I suppose.
Easier to list what is actually left:
Film 4 HD
TCM HD
Sly 3D
BT Sport 1 HD
BT Sport 2 HD
ESPN HD
Boxnation HD
Sly News HD
it was pretty bad wasn't it. I had to switch to ss hd Germany.no commentary but just streamed f1uk so listened to that. was fineThey're compressed to within an inch of their lives, maybe not all but for an example I watched Sly Sports F1 in SD at the weekend, and it just looked so bad.

Problem for some of us is that the SD versions are on a footprint which we can't receive whereas the HD ones are
indeed I took out a HD sub for my legitimate subscription in order to watch them on the dreambox and can no longer do so
and when I put the card back in the genuine box, it says its the wrong one and it won't pair because it says the box is too old.
So despite having a legit sub and not using cs no CH5 tonight. Which I am actually paying for ...
Correction still thereSly 3D gone
I honestly think that the sky official decoder (sky + HD) is a very very good piece of hardware, it is supplied in accordance with sky's official subscription and works flawlessly (most of the time bar technical failure etc) and is for the most part idiot proof, mum and dad proof even grandad proof, there's no such thing as "no longer available on this frequency please retune to ..... Etc) picture quality is excellent and recording is a piece of piss. Only a true satellite enthusiast needs more, if you bought a DVD player and had to flash an image to it and add codecs for this n that etc, had lip sync issues etc we wouldn't bother with it, just a loose comparison but I'm sure ye get my drift.

How does one stream to pc from a sky hd box then?
Manage recordings from pc?
considering you can only do this with an open sorce linux box like dreambox and not closed sorce like skybox or tm box a lot of closed sorce box users can not do this any way i have read posts from f5 users asking the same question
and you do not need to stream if you have a genuine sub you get free sky go for your lappy where you can watch anywhere with a internet connection or access it if you are in hospital on your phone or tablet but you might need a uk vpn to get round the free wi fi iavailable in hospital
aren't sky suppose to send you new box for free?
I think they might, however it won't operate my steerable dish and let me watch other satellites and its nowhere
near as energy efficient and I can't control it with a web interface.
