Bigger displays, especially 'full HD', fair enough should be better, of course, especially at broadcast 1080i quality.

Just with my cynical hat on I can envisage the 'waited this long & its no better than we already had' type of comment from those with lesser equipment??
Personally, I can't see any difference between high quality SD and HD channels on sets smaller than 50". To get the real HD quality requires giant screens with a wider vision larger than one's eyes.

And with my cynical hat on, I can envisage those who've waited ages for HD being a little "peeved" when they realise that their current equipment will not receive the new HD channels when/if they arrive...

Pigs will fly first before VM transmit dozens of HD channels in the bandwidth hungry MPEG2 format.
