Re: HD is overrated
Most of my HD viewing is of sport , especially football and its a massive difference between SD and HD.
In fact i cant watch standard def football anymore to the extent that half the time united games are on i'll get the lads round here with beer rather than go to the pub.

Re: HD is overrated
football is one of the big difference programmes/shows, the older films that are re-released as blu-ray etc can be disappointing tho

depends on the remastering process if it done correctly it will look at a new hd just about. but if it done badly it can look worse than sd, but this all depends on the setup if it bad it will look bad for new hd movie etc.

Re: HD is overrated
For me HD via the V+ with good content is superb. Some of the VOD nature series are so much better, especially with water or snow in the shots. The 5.1 sound is an added bonus and really completes the experience.
Other than the pure pixel count I am sure that the colour rendering is better on BBC HD, maybe to do with the extra bandwidth?
Wimbledon is excellent in HD, don't get obsessed with pixel watching just sit back and enjoy the experience. 
Just my two penneth...

Yes LOL
Went to sky hd and never looked back
Sky by the way have 33 HD channels.
You'll get people in here saying they are mostly upscaled - but you do get proper HD programming on all 33 channels.
Dont wait for virgin to deliver - its always coming soon.

Currently its one but there is a lot of VOD HD now and there should be 5 new HD channels by the end of the year.

Re: HD is overrated
agree that Sky HD has some great channels. wish they didn't charge though. £67/month for an HD box upstairs and a PLUS box downstairs. add £51/month my VM broadband, that's nearly £1500 a year. Sound scary when you add it all up. oh forgot to add £140 odd for TV license
