The best feature for me of V+ is its ability to upscale SD pictures so well (when connected by HDMI to an HD TV) making for a superb all round picture. Proper HD channels are obviously better, but often not that much, and remember on many so called HD channels only a small proportion is actually recorded in HD and of that much is not in 5.1 sound, even from the BBC.

Because of the excellent upscaled SD picture on V+ (on my old SA V+ box anyway), it is often underwhelming when changing to an HD channel. I have a 37 inch Panasonic.
