Re: HD is overrated
HD channels and Blu-ray look great when you compare them to many of the shoddy over-compressed programs we see on digital TV these days. I have a feeling it's no coincidence that the quality of SD has got so much worse at the same time they want us all to upgrade to HD.

Overall I'm happy with my HDTV - media centre, gaming, and HD channels all look great.

Re: HD is overrated
Cant tell the difference personally, maybe its my eyes!

I run between two rooms trying to spot the difference, same Philips telly in each, apart from one is HD.

Husband raves about it though, and we are watching the same TVs together.
He says the cricket is way better this year on Sky because of it.

It might be your TVs. You couldn't miss the difference on mine.

If your hubby is watching Sky in HD, he can't be watching it on Virgin Media. HD is better with VM and some programmes are simply mind blowing.

Re: HD is overrated
I think that the V+ upscales 'good' standard definition channels so well (via HDMI to a decent HD TV) that it makes the difference that a high definition channel makes less noticeable.
