Me-No! I'm long retired, but I am interested in saving money since I have to exist on a state pension.
Genuine advice but if you don't like it, ignore it

Just sounded a very good advert that, may be a job line if you get bored

Is the Talk Talk Sky Sports pack available in HD?

Does the Talk Talk freeview box come with a built in hard drive?

Both answers would need to be yes before I could consider leaving Sky - which is something I'd consider doing if I could get the same for less elsewhere.

'Fraid the Skysport channels are only 1,2,3,4 &F1, so not yet to your first point, although all BBC & ITV HD channels are available at present, so fingers crossed for SkySportHD in the future.
Second point - 200hrs of memory available - by the way, it's a "YouView" box.

Good luck to all those who, like me, can no longer afford Sky.

I don't really get the whole HD thing. Maybe my telly is too small?

I have the usual freesat range of HD channels, and to be brutally honest, I can't see any difference. If I had the two next to each other maybe I would, or if I had one of those epic huge chav TVs occupying half a wall.

One day in the not too distant future everything will be HD, but I'm unlikely to go out of my way for it.

But then I also don't watch enough TV to warrant paying for anything more than my TV license, which probably makes me not the best person to comment.

I'll shut up shall I?

You're not alone in finding the whole HD thing a case of "The Emporers New Clothes", I can't see a difference at all on a brand new TV with Virginmedia cable attached - the only time when I have seen a noticable difference was on F1 when BBC1 were providing coverage and I was flicking between Virgin HD and the TV set's own built-in Freeview HD channel - the Freeview channel via my aerial was clearer which has resulted in constant calls from me to bin Virgin's TV service and just go to Freeview.

With three females in the house I get voted down every time for the MTV screaming women channels aren't on Freeview.

You're lucky. I can think of several women who take a less-than enlightened view of their spouses subscribing to screaming women channels.

You're all wrong. HD is ace.

When you remember VHF 425 lines and black and white on an aerial made from a coathanger then its all relative.

The impact of HD depends on several things. One is the size of your TV. Mine is 37 inches and is comfortable hsowing non-HD programs. the bigger the TV, the bigger the problem.

The other issue is to do with the type of program you are watching. Sports are typically worst affected as there is a lot of movement, and the compression of the signal is done in realtime. This is why if you watch football there can be fuzzyness around the players, and I guess the same thing as mentioned in the f1 above.

So as a result if you spend all day watching sports on a massive TV, then your probably worth getting HD, if you only watch cartoons on a small tv, then probably dont

Just a thought - it might be cheaper to invest in some new glasses than buying into the "HD thing".
Or you could go to a pub and watch things in 3D (what a waste of time the 3D thing is....
