Yes, they do seem to be moving fast. I recently saw The Gadget Show compare Freeview, Freesat and Youview HD PVR's. Youview came out on top for picture quality, ease of use etc.

go to hd extra and there is a list


not a big list

HD Extra
TV from BT – HD Extra
A selection of TV channels in high definition for stunning picture quality and glorious detail. If you add HD Extra with BT Sport you'll also get BT Sport in HD at no extra cost.

HD Extra includes the following channels:

FOX HD
National Geographic HD
Nat Geo WILD HD
SyFy HD
History HD
Crime and Investigation HD
An extra £3 a month for just those channels seems poor value to me.

The weather effects Cable far greater, my picture is cracking up at the moment, and we have big winds outside.
When I used satellite as my primary TV source, I had problems with bad weather. The main problem seemed to be caused by snow settling on the LNB and dish.

Your cable service should not be affected by bad weather, it may be worth getting an engineer out to check the installation if bad weather impacts on the quality of your picture.
