Cable Forum - Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.

What services do you subscribe to? You have said in the past you don't seem that bothered about a fair few HD channels which is fair enough, I never used to be that bothered either. It was only when we got a 46" set that we finally realised how good it is.

I would politely say anyone who thinks HD is less than one of the biggest growth areas in TV is a bit behind the times of a lot of the opinion of Pay TV customers really, but each to their own.

And there's another very important aspect of HD TV, which is, 5.1 sound.

Well mine is a 6 series 40 inch Sammy and HD is amazing , in fact once you've watched HD on it anything else doesn't compare.

If someone says there is no difference between HD & SD in picture quality, they are in one of two camps

Ok - lets not get too personal here. my observation is that I personally dont think HD is all that great on some channels.

Watch True Blood of FX HD and I dont see any benefit. However, I am currently watching Discovery HD and the picture is superb.

All horses for courses. Some will say its the dogs dangly bits - others like me say its good, but its not something I would purposly watch until it becomes the norm.

And yes, I did shed a tear when I dumped vinyl for CD

I agree with a lot of that.

When we only had a 32" set the difference was minimal, but on a 46" set it is sometimes a huge difference but the quality differs on different channels and indeed different content shown on the same channel. And of course the audio can be like night and day too.

BBC HD is usually very good but EastEnders seems only marginally better in HD to me.
