As your LCD has a higher resolution that standard TV it will not look as good as it does on a standard TV. The digital picture is also heavily compressed and that will show up on the bigger screen, getting sky won't solve this either. The same thing will probably happen as well, unless you wait for the SKY HD service.
The Telewest TV drive offers this service and is already available, however none of the channels in HD have actually launched yet.

That's for sure... regular 4:3 broadcasts from LivingTV look aweful on our new Sony Bravia 32" LCD. You can really see the compression. Nasty! Some channels are worse than others - BBC's coverage of the Ice Skating at the Olypics last week was fab, widescreen and very clear. I guess some channels vary their compression ratios. DVD's play back brilliantly tho.
