Sorry to butt in, but I strongly disagree with that. I have a 50" 1080p Pioneer plasma and have been watching HD content through blu-ray and gaming (X360 mostly). The difference to my eyes between HD, and upscalled SD is absolutely night and day. So much so I have totally given up on watching SD DVDs, and now watch movies exclusively in high-def. I love high-def sound too, with Dolby True HD and raw PCM being a nice upgrade over crusty old Dolby Digital.
I'm currently trying to decide between Sky HD and Virgin V+ for my regular TV viewing. Obviously Sky's larger roster of HD content is compelling but I don't know if I could stomach giving money to Rupert Murdoch. It's really too bad Virgin have been lagging so terribly on the HD front. I read they are planning to launch another 5 HD channels this year? Does anyone know what they may be? (other than Channel 4 HD, which I assume must be due to launch any day now)
