Minimum, $30-$40 a month. It is cheap. The 10 quid (UKP) is an EXTRA fee for HD. You buy whatever package you want, and if you want HD, you buy the HD package, which is a few channels in HD. Most channels are not available in HD. Here for example, the DBS system I use has 4 movie channels, in HD they have one. If you want all four channels, or a different movie than the HD channel is showing, you have to watch it in regular, which means you had to pay for that channel. Regular def here is a mixed bag, about 10% of the programs are 16:9, most are 4:3. The decoder box gives you a choice of always 16:9 (which means the TV set has to detect the difference and switch), always 4:3, or letterboxed 16:9 on a 4:3 set. I have no idea of what really is on HD, I don't have a TV capable of it. Note that if I were to upgrade to an HDTV, I would not upgrade the service, I get so much of my program material from other sources, it's not worth it. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
