Anyone using the HD Kit Guide will realise how much work has gone into compiling the product listings. Creating and maintaining such data is a major undertaking, and would not be possible without the cooperation of system manufacturers and suppliers.

In addition, without the support of our sponsors, we would be obliged to charge for our Search services. Sponsorship and advertising therefore serve two purposes - to provide additional and more personalised information as a supplement to our objective listings, and to allow us to make access to the HD Kit Guide free of charge.

If you are interested in sponsorship or advertising opportunities, please contact Yasmin Hashmi at sypha@syphaonline.com or telephone +44 (0)20 8761 1042.
