Sky do provide more HD channels than VM, however, as someone who doesn't subscribe to the Sky sports or movies even in SD, that doesn't cause me many problems, personally  |
Upscaling isn't making the most of anything. It's simply blowing up a low resolution image and blurring/smearing it so you can't see the pixels so clearly. The V+s scaler is average at best and does little to disguise just how low resolution and compressed the channels are.
I'm really surprised people seem to keep talking about upscaling as if it has anything at all to with high definition. Have you watched any good blu-rays lately? Try the No Country For Old Men disc on a 1080p plasma and the difference will blow you away. *That's* making the most of high-def.
