Re: Free PictureBox.....wow
 

Reason i won't ever be subscribing to Picture Box after having a look at the available selection:-
Only 1 Film listed as being in HD :shocked:

Re: Free PictureBox.....wow
 

Good job we're not all HD snobs then, isn't it?! :rolleyes:

Re: Free PictureBox.....wow
 

If you subscribed you'd get a lot more HD. Currently there are 17 in HD.

Re: Free PictureBox.....wow
 

This doesn't stack up with the letter I got via email:

Re: Free PictureBox.....wow
 

Had a look last night, and thought yuck when I saw most of the titles. If that is what you get when you pay a monthly fee then I am shocked the channel is still running.

Re: Free PictureBox.....wow
 

So we arn't getting 1 months free picture box then, just a sneek peek...

Re: Free PictureBox.....wow
 

I gave it a go for a month when it first launched, and even worse, there is no 5.1 audio.

Re: Free PictureBox.....wow
 

As with many so called HD snobs probably unable to tell the difference unless listed as HD.:rolleyes:

Re: Free PictureBox.....wow
 

That's a little un-fair :( Even with my not-perfect eyesight, I can tell the difference between HD and SD.

My point was that, although - given the option - I would choose to watch the HD version of something over the SD version I wouldn't not watch something just because it wan't in HD.

If you see what I mean! (Don'tcha just hate double-negatives ;))

I would suggest if people can't see the difference between SD and HD they either have a small set , bad eyesight or the original material is of poor quality. Football for me is a must in HD and the difference is night and day , Hawaii Five O is another example of excellent quality HD granted not as good as Blu Ray standard but impressive. I agree with Carl though I wouldn't not watch something just because it wasn't HD , I enjoy some of the news/documentaries on PBS America which is generally poor quality SD in my opinion.

If you feel that you cannot watch a programme or movie simply because it is not in HD then somewhere the is something very odd in your makeup because it would never stop me watching an old classic movie which is Picturebox mainstay if you think otherwise then that is pure snobbery and you will miss many a great movie.

i think most of us are missing the point of the free month its a teaser to show wot were missing.
to some of us the films on offer are pants to others there good but its only a marketing ploy PB have gave a free month for everyone to view there not expecting everyone to sign up
but say 20 in every 1000 potential new customers is all they need to give a lil boost in profits.
It's just the same as all the junk mail we get through the letter box.

Re: Free PictureBox.....wow
 

What a con! I got the same e mail but when I tried to access the Picture Box service I got the message that I was not subscribed - phoned VM who informed me that the service was for L & XL packages only! Why send me an email telling me about the free month if I'm not eligible?

Re: Free PictureBox.....wow
 

To encourage you to upgrade, I should imagine...:erm:

Re: Free PictureBox.....wow
 

HD movies are now being added to the freeview folder
