Frequently asked questions More FAQs
-
How many channels can I watch in high definition?
The HD Pack offers the widest range of HD channels in Ireland - you can watch up to 61 HD channels depending on your Sky TV package. For example, if you have the standard definition Sky Sports, Sky Movies or Disney Cinemagic channel in your package you will receive the high definition version of that channel if available in the HD Pack.
-
How do I know if my TV is HD ready?
Look for the 'HD ready' logo on your television, or check your TV's instructions for the HD ready logo in its specifications.
-
Will I get HD after the Digital Switchover?
The Digital Switchover is the process of switching the traditional analogue TV signal over to a digital TV signal and won't automatically give you high definition TV. Sky customers already benefit from digital TV and are all set for the digital switchover. To experience TV in high definition you must have an HD ready TV and an HD source, like a Sky+HD box.
-
Can I watch HD in more than one room?
Yes. With Sky Multiroom and the HD Pack you can watch HD channels from your Sky TV subscription in any room with an HD Ready box. One HD Pack covers the whole home. If you take a new Sky Multiroom subscription (€15 extra a month), you will receive a free Sky HD Multiroom box.
