The impressive Sky+HD box is now available to order online for just £49 at sky.com/hd. This represents a saving of £150 compared to the £199 price quoted when phoning Sky.

If ordered online, customers will also get the Sky HD pack free for one month (usual price is £9.75 a month). The Sky HD pack has 31 HD channels, including 3 Sky Sports HD channels and 12 Sky Movies HD channels.

There’s up to four times more detail and much more vibrant colour compared to normal TV, plus superb quality Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound.

There’s also the widest range of HD channels in the UK – with 31 channels to watch. You can enjoy everything from movies and sport, to arts, drama and documentaries, all in stunning high definition.
