On my 40" TV even though not as good as HD, the SD picture is very good on a decent channel. The 5.1 audio of HD is as great an attraction as increased PQ to me and that is not an incentive to those without home cinema systems i.e., the majority of people

Well maybe convey that to VM, they have just shoved a 10mb modem into their Tivo box to enable HD streaming so maybe they have missed a trick and misjudged the market.
But I seriously doubt they have, over 3 million Sky+ HD customers paying over £120 a year extra for HD suggests otherwise too and I doubt all of them are 'geeks'
