Hi everyone,

I've just bought an HD-ready TV and want to press it into action. But I'm torn between going with the Virgin V+ system (I already have phone and broadband with them) and going the Freesat route. Sky is not an option for various reasons.

Here are my questions:

1. Is there a difference in quality in the Standard Definition and High Definition output between V+ and Freesat?

2. At the moment, Virgin only has one HD channel (BBC) but is promising more soon. Do you think they will increase the monthly rental fee as more HD channels come on stream? Or will it remain at the Â£5 level?

3. Is it worth waiting for the new Samsung V+ box to be guaranteed installed?

That's it. Any and all reflections welcome.

Many thanks!
