Three steps to high definition

  • Step 1: HD ready TV

    Without an HD source, like our Sky+HD box, your HD ready TV is missing something very special - high definition! Make sure your TV has the 'HD ready' logo.

  • Step 2: Sky+HD

    Bring your HD ready TV to life. Build a Sky TV package, starting from £20 a month, and add the HD Pack (£10.25 extra pm) to experience television like never before.

  • Step 3: High definition

    Sky has the UK's widest range of HD entertainment with over 50‡ HD channels. Enjoy 24/7 HD TV with the HD Pack, for less than the cost of a night out for 2 at most cinemas.

UK's widest range of HD channels

  • Movies

    Experience films like never before with our 12 HD movie channels.

  • Sports

    Get closer to all the action with up to eight HD sports channels.

  • Factual

  • Entertainment

    Get closer to the must-see shows and your favourite series.

  • Simple set-up

    Whichever box you choose, your Sky equipment will be professionally installed at a time that suits you - even on a weekend. And once it's all set up in your home you'll get a demonstration of how it all works.

  • Over 50‡ HD channels

    Enjoy access to a choice of over 50‡ high definition channels and counting when you take a Sky+HD box and the HD Pack for £10.25 extra a month - you will receive HD channels in line with your Sky TV package.

  • What do I need to get Sky+HD?

    • All you need to enjoy Sky+HD is an HD ready TV (make sure it has the 'HD ready' logo), a Sky+HD box and the HD Pack. Then, to watch programmes in stunning high definition, you'll need to select one of your available HD channels.

    How many channels can I watch in high definition?

    • The HD Pack (£10.25 extra a month on top of your Sky TV package) gives you access to over 50‡ HD channels, in line with your Sky TV subscription - that's more than any other UK provider. Experience everything from sports and movies to arts, drama and documentaries, all in stunning high definition. The HD channels you receive depend 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.
       

      We show hundreds of different films every month on twelve dedicated high definition movie channels so you can catch even more of the action and drama in stunning high definition. And, with more live sport, more HD coverage and more live 3D coverage than ever in 2011, Sky Sports viewers can now look forward to an even bigger year in 2012.
       

      For the first time we will show every practice and qualifying session and every race in the F1™ season live in HD, on a new dedicated channel, and at no extra charge to all Sky TV customers with the HD Pack. You'll be spoilt for choice with live coverage of The Ryder Cup, three of Golf's Majors including the Masters in 3D, Test cricket between the world's top two sides England and South Africa, Grand Slam tennis, Heineken Cup rugby and football from the UEFA Champions League and Barclays Premier League.
       

      Plus, there's content available, at no extra charge, on iPad, iPhone (3GS or above), laptops, PCs and Macs through Sky Go anywhere in the UK or Ireland wherever you have a Wi-Fi or 3G connection.
