hi @Rols1

THe HD add on allows you to watch the the HD versions of the SKY Signature package (& KIds) - it doesn't have any additional channels as such - although without it you can watch the Freesat HD channels (e.g. BBC, ITV)

Ultimate TV is SKY's name for Netflix

Sorry @Rols1 you have misundertood me

You can watch & record BBC & ITV and any others that are part of 'Freesat' in in HD without needing the HD add on

Freesat Channels

You need the HD add on to be able to watch the HD versions of the other (pay) channels such as SKY channels and some others like Gold & Alibi

Ah Ok 👍 I did read this though

So there are no channels only available if you pay for HD. I thoight there was one, maybe a kids one, as that is why we have it, I thought

As I said @Rols1 if you change your package in any way New Netflix prices will apply.

Thats unless you can negotiate a special deal on prices with Sky.

Wirh modern 4K TV's anything in SD is very poor quality. Personally here I avoid SD like the plague and wouldn't recommend anyone with a 4K TV drops the HD pack.

hi @Rols1

I have to admit you have got me thinking that there may be a possibility that over time one or more channels have ceased SD versions & thus may only be availble with the HD add on

I am sorry I have to sy I don;'t know for sure either way

Yes @Rols1 some Freesat channels have closed in SD (BBC & ITV) but the HD versions of these do not need the HD add on as they are Free to watch (aka Free To Air)
