I don't have an HD TV - yet.

Reason? (other than the fact that I don't have the money just now)

because it would only be for me.

There's a slight problem with my setup at home at the moment. I have both the RF and Scart inputs into the back of the TV. There's some sort of conflict on the RF (maybe channel 5, maybe just mains hum) which leads to an annoying herringbone effect when virgin is viewed via RF rather than by Scart.

I've explained time and again to my family that the picture's better if they select the AV channel rather than RF. It gets me nowhere - I actually get told they can't see the problem!

Now if an annoying problem like that is irrelevent to a (possibly significant) part of the population, what are they going to think about HD?

I honestly suspect that (although there'll always be those who appreciate clear crisp pictures) a fair chunk of people are not going to give a fig whether a channel is HD or SD so long as the latest episode of X factor or emmerdale can be seen.

I'd be happy to be proven wrong, but I wouldn't lay a bet on it.</p>
