hd not good I still know what you did last summer hd
 

Mate came round last night with his girlfriend and we watched movie we decided to test out the hd and watch the above film now two bads things resulted from this no1 c*!p film no2 worst pixled picture on all white solids I have ever seen this turned the film in to a pixel spotting event for me and mate and lets say I was highly disapointed!

I have a evesham 42 lcd connected to my v+ box with hdmi cable with dvi adaptor havent noticed bad pixs on bbc hd progs even though they havent been over impressive is this my tv or could it be sometyhing else???

I dunno if it's your TV in regards to the film, but I watched blue planet on HD last night on my 77" HD projector and it was astounding, so I'm not sure how you could have not been impressed :)

@chippy check your HDMI lead and try Component Video, some TVs prefers Component for Vbox than HDMI. I've wacthed all HD movies on Demand (wait for new stuff since 2months :-( ) and believe me the pictures are wonderfull.

Re: hd not good I still know what you did last summer hd
 

Apart from the fact that HD movies on demand don't work over component video...

I hate to say this, but Evesham aren't particularly well known for their quality TV's. This might be something to do with it...

Is in your town the shop RicherSound....? I've bought there the HDMI lead 'Cambridge', the sale assistant made me sure that I can bring back the lead if something wrong.


@ShadowTD not all the hd movies require HDMI, it's depends if movies has HDCP.

Re: hd not good I still know what you did last summer hd
 

All the HD movies listed in my x-ntl V+ require HDMI. Ho hum.

Re: hd not good I still know what you did last summer hd
 

That's what i thought too. The only reason to use HDMI/DVI is because they are the only ones going to carry HDCP, but i thought HDCP wasn't widely (if at all) used yet. I can't really comment because i don't use component though, i use DVI.

Would still be interested to know the definitive answer to this though as i could be tempted to use component as my control centre primarily uses it.
