I can see a huge difference on the Sky Movie channels, far more noticable than the Film4 SD vs HD comparison as the standard def versions of Sky Movies are so poor.

I watch my 32inch tv from about 1 to 1.5 ft and I can tell teh difference.

Not that my opinion is reliable lol.

Still when I have people round they do say it's better on HD.

Its an improvement, but in saying that, you could not get any worse quality than SKY movies in SD. So the only way was up I reckon. Thats how SKY can justify the prices it puts on its premium HD channels. The jump in quality from SD to HD is far more than with other channels.

Never mind your opinion being reliable, what about your eyesight. Any closer and it becomes "Interactive" TV.:):):)

My eyesight is not going to get any worse by the closeness of me watching my tv ;)

I must admit it is definitely 'interactive' already lol
