Yes, the picture in most cases is superior, but the V+ box upscales so brilliantly anyway. And, (in my opinion), if Virgin did have the same number of HD channels Sky have, surely they would have to increase subs to pay for them ?

More to the point though, just how much TV do some here watch !

I used to come on this forum thread to read what Mediaboy believes is coming soon. Some come true, some dont. Thats the way it is, and I accept that. However, just recently, its becoming a "sky has this, why dont we....", and to be truthful, its getting very boring !

If a channel is available in HD then I will watch it. If its not, then I will watch the SD version and not lose sleep over it. If it comes, it comes

/rant over - sorry !
For me, it's not just the better picture quality of HD (and why shouldn't we have the best picture quality that is available on Virgin Media?), but it's also, very much, about the sound.

A lot of films and most current US dramas are broadcast in Dolby Digital 5.1. This not only gives better sound clarity, but surround effects for the action type dramas. Music often sounds much better in 5.1.
