and considering how much broadcast HD is available (5% 'if you're lucky') this is immoral & should be illegal

I'm pretty sure that in keeping with their marketing strategy they will tell you *everything* is in H/Def as they did with widescreen TV's

but don't get me on that again
Sparkling? Hmm, it just looks blurry and upscalled to me. I have much better upscaling through my AV amp than the V+ box can do, and it still looks bad.

Sky HD does offer I believe several thousand hours of HD programming every month, including movies, documentaries, and sport. Fortunately though there are many other avenues for HD content too, such as Blu-Ray (which I personally now use exclusively over DVD), and HD games consoles such as the X360 and PS3.
