Sky Sports better on Virgin or Sky?
 
I use to have Sky but now have Virgin and im watching the Man u Liverpool game and for some reason i think that Sports HD on Virgin is not as good as on Sky.

It does not look as sharp(maybe its my eyes!!!!)

What are other peoples views??

Sorry but bit of a silly question, SKY will always be better while they hold back HD channels and red button features from VM

Could be how your tv is set up when we had sky hd we had completely settings on the tv and when we switched to virgin had to slightly tweak the settings again and now sky sports hd on virgin we have pretty much got spot on.;)

I have messed around with the settings on the TV loads of times but you could be right.

For some reason i get what looks like a Light fog on some HD pics.

I have lowered the Brightness and Contrast and still the same.

I have set the sharpness to 7 on TV.
