Cinema: August 2007 Archives

Sky are currently pushing Sky HD by offering a lower rate to existing customers. The longer you've been with Sky the cheaper it is, though admittedly the reductions aren't exactly the most generous. Of course you'll need a HD ready TV as well, so the entire thing gets a bit expensive :) If you're serious about your home cinema setup upgrading your TV probably isn't a bad idea - I know I'm seriously considering it.
