Yes, but there's a massive gap between where the facts end and your doubts begin.

Believe it or not I have a Freeview box bundled with a Setanta sub. I bought it cheap because Setanta was long dead by the time I got it. (See what I mean about not caring much for broadcast TV before TiVo?)

By the sounds of it we're getting British commentators then? Because to be honest, I've heard Americans calling boxing and wrestling and that constant loud/high-energy style really ticks me off.

Hopefully Virgin Media / BoxNation can review the problem and increase the bit-rate if possible. I'm paying a premium price, for a premium channel so give me premium picture quality.

I wouldn't say it's as bad as the ITV SD channels, probably closer to Dave: it isn't great but not terrible either. Should be better, and should come in both SD and HD versions I agree. If only SD, much higher bitrate.
