HD isnt a small pin prick, its a giant leap! The quality of 1920x1080i vs 720x576i is gigantic, makes sports and nature docu's watchable instead of pixelated and no more distortion around text on the screen, just clear text like on a pc monitor, its how tv should have always been and HD has been out for around 10yrs in america, uk was 7yrs ish late to start to jump ship.

All i really want is eurosporthd, itvhd, channel4hd and would be nice for fxhd, sky sports1-3hd if possible.

itv's quality is rather poor generally, especially for football so hd is a giant improvement, channel4 is much nicer in hd too and a little better pic qual for the upscaling (mainly due to higher bitrate rather than the actual upscaling).

i would have liked setantahd but that wont be happening hehe :P its a shame they could charge £15/month for setantahd and make a much better profit. lets see if sky or epsn buy out setanta and see what they do with it. would love to see ufc, boxing and football in hd.
