I loved the sound of Sky Stream until I read that Netflix isnt in HD.Also I would love Sky Sports,I want H.D or even ultra HD,then I need a broadband package,etc then Im thinking when I find out how much all the added packages are and broadband,etc it seems expensive.Please prove me wrong Sky as Im looking to be on a decent wifi/tv package.Virgin also doing deals at the moment although their customer service not great.
