Any views on this would be great!

Also i spoke to a Virgin Sales Rep... and they are "HOPING" to be getting HD Skysports and other sky services this September/October!

(but i have been told so much cra* before!)
The tv set you mention above is only 768 vertcal resolution so cannot properly display a 1080p picture,it might display 1080i (interlaced)to compensate for the screens low resolution in which case part of the picture frames are shown followed quickly by the rest to complete the picture,this can make the picture seem slightly blury particularly with fast action such as sports,most hd tv broadcast transmit in 720p so as your set is native 720p this gives the gives the best pic quality in your scenario,in an opposite case scenario my tv 1080p recieving a 720p signal has to artificially increase 720 to 1080 lines vertical resolution this also causes picture artefacts,Sky have said they will not even consider increasing broadcast resolution to 1080p until after 2012
