It's not particuarly good I'm afraid, if you check your future bills you're likely to see another £5.50 I think added to that.

Anecdotally it's not 'bad' either given the recent reports on available discounts.  (Realistically you'd struggle to get it near 20% cheaper)

I'm speaking to them right now so I'm not going to disagree with you 😞

I understand sky are a company and need to make a profit BUT charging £9 for HD  is a complete rip off! The cost of transmitting in hd per subscriber must be pennies??

seems like sky is moving towards only high definition and yet are still charging a huge amount for the privilege of something that as you say should be the standard

It's high time the HD tax went away 

[Skyuser1981]

They should've stopped charging for HD years ago.

I got the HD cancelled.

Total waste of cash 💸 in my opinion 

Tried to have Sky Go Extra reactivated but couldn't apparently vip ain't what it used to be

They should just end the HD tax! If sky had been around in the 60s they'd still be charging us for colour tv 📺 right up to this day

I'm beginning to think they're gonna charge for HD forever

Until the end of life of the satellite platforms*, quite possibly. 

There's no separate charge on Glass & Stream.

* which may well be 2029

Interesting.

You're probably right about that! 

I've got Sky Q I got rid of HD because the charge was too high! 

With sky glass or stream do you still have to pay extra for streaming on consoles 

I had sky go extra until the vip bonus was scrapped
