So V+ is better for SD but anything will do for HD. Is that correct? Are you talking up-scaled SD on a HD TV? Also, surely there must be some difference in HD quality between boxes. Perhaps it only becomes apparent with certain physical sizes or types (CRT, LCD, LED, Plasma etc.) of TV screen.

That's quite significant. Is it because of the use of MPEG-4 by Sky vs. MPEG-2 by VM (for now)?
