    hd for what? Sat or cable? if its cable I wouldnt be parting with any money at this stage for any box if I had one already, the changes in UK seem to be gathuring momentum. Waste of money at this late stage.

    If its sat, there is a good few, like the dreambox hd

    I dont have any at the moment. I am not sure which one to buy since, as I want to view some asian channels which are available only on sky and not virgin. Will I be able to see those asian channels via a sat hd combo box, is there one available?

    Thanks

    there is a starview HD combo, but as I say, the cable side of it is coming to an end, so that will leave you with the sat side, there are various boxs, like the dream HD, but you need to find out which sat will give you what you want, the astra sat is the sky one and FTA one, CS (Card Share) is an option using this box, there is loads of posts on CS and what it is, if you use the search function above and search for card share or SHY Channels on Dream is another good thrad, there is some reading to be done using this method,

    EDIT: here is the thread
