I don't know for sure. I've heard for sports that they respond faster, and I can believe it watching my 40" LCD. I think LCD TV's have a lot of technology to try and reduce motion blur and ghost images. I genuinely don't know why US sports looks so much better than ours, but it does. NFL looks stunning compared to the UK transmisions I've seen on Sky.

Funny that their old NTSC TV broadcasts were absolute cack, and now their HD is so good. I've seen regular stuff there as well and I agree, it's all tremendous picture quality. All they need to do now is work out a way to remove the adverts and it might even be watchable.

Apart from those regions who have not switched over yet.

The final was shown in HD last year but the BBC broadcast is at a lower resolution than ITV and SKY so it doesnt look as good as those two broadcasters.

I won't judge. These business trips can get lonely.

Ok smart, everyone will have digital by next season then.

As a non-Sky subscriber, who doesn't really watch much TV, I still fail to see why I should be interested in paying to get HD. I am often told that if you flick back and forth between the two you can see the difference. Ho hum. I'm unlikely to do that, and the picture quality seems fine to me as it is. I can see what's happening on sports broadcasts perfectly well on the normal telly. I don't watch a lot of action films. Again, when I do, they seem to work just fine. My TV is a miserly 32", because I don't want it to be the dominant feature in the room.

No sale here.

Probably by the next time I buy a TV it will be de rigeur so it will be HD, but I ain't paying extra for it. M'eh.

Just me and my old friend beer. Beer never goes to bed in a huff, never tells me to turn the TV down or do the bins and beer only has access to a small part of my finances. And beer never makes me feel guilty for not finishing it off. If I'm satisfied then beer is satisfied.

It does smell pretty horrible in the morning if you don't though....

Pah, call yourself a bloke.

My opinion too, we have an upgraded Virgin HD box on a 1080p HD TV - I'm totally underwhelmed by it, if the TV hadn't been HD anyway and if the Virgin box hadn't cost just £50 then I'd be even more underwhelmed and feeling ripped off.

I've got HD and thinks its great, fact

End of.

HTH.

A bloke came round and put the Sky Anytime+ on our Sky+ HD box yesterday, the amount of stuff in our anytime library now is incredible! Over 500 films, every episode of 24 and Lost ect... immense!
