Agreed with regards to sport, but also with Carl that for other things its really not the most important thing.

I would disagree, I have had a season ticket to Villa park since I was a new born (My grandad got it) I go to at least 3 F1 Grand Prix a year. I watch my local none league football team on ocassion.

I go to watch live Golf, Tennis...Any way you get the drift and I watch football in SD on occasion and I am just as passionate as when I watch it in HD. Of course neither comes any where near an afternoon on the Holt end. So sports fans will love their sport in SD or HD believe me.

Infact I would watch my Villa in black and white on 3 Inch battery operated TV, if it was my only option and I would LOVE it. I watch quite a bit of sport on my iPhone via Skygo and love it.

Nit picking your statement here, but wheather you think it or not, SD is inferior; it has fewer pixels than SD. Therefore on your HD TV, some of the pixels on an SD picture are just 'an nteligent guess' at what they should be.

Re: Is BT a threat to Virgin Media

And yet I don't get any less enjoyment out of watching something in SD than I do when watching something in SD; whether one is technically "superior" or not.

Which was my point. Which I think you knew ;)

If the content is good , I agree you can enjoy in SD however as PB said the format is inferior. Some channels have better bit rates than others , Universal was always a poor SD picture , also didnt you say your flatscreen was only 32" the larger you go the more HD becomes preferable.

37" actually. Should have gone for the 42" though :(
