IQ is very good but it's not true HD. It supports both 720p (progressive) and 1080i (interlaced) scanning but not 1080p which is true HD, the quality used for Blue Ray and some free to air shows.

I wasn't paying too much attention to be honest, but I think it was $200 for the new box and $10 per month.
