As it's not possible to add the SD charge twice it will just increase the bill by £7
So in my case I just hit the sky sports collection ?? or will I be better off ringing

VM are brilliant at upscaling SD channels to the point I see little difference in their HD channels. In fact on my V+ I never record HD programmes because the pic quality is marginal yet the space used on the HDD is excessive. Except sport! Hence my disappointment at them charging me £37.50 for Sky Sports with only TWO SS HD channels.

Think you may need to tweek your settings a bit then. On my set the difference is vast. :)

You can definetly notice the difference, HD looks stunning on my Sony Bravia LCD and Toshiba LCD. SD looks very good.

Agreed on my 40 inch Samsung 6 Series HD looks amazing. I will say PQ varies though. Watched Cellular last night on Film 4 HD it was amazing PQ.

Trust me there is a big difference,Ive been watching the WWE on Sky Sports and the picture is amazing.However got to say the upscaling is far superior on the V+ box compared to my Sky HD box

I think its all about screen size on my 32" I can`t see any real ( or put another way any thing worth £7 per month) difference even when having sport on.:shrug:

Could be my lcds are 40 and 46".

They do say you can't really notice the difference between 1080i and 1080p on 32" or smaller.

Viewing distance is a major factor - but we're going OT again...

Many say you need a 40+ inch tv to see any worth while benefits of HD over SD especially with full HD. And obviously viewing distance matters to.
