The picture quality on the live streaming channels on Now TV does leave a fair amount to be desired, and it's that which stops me cutting the cord completely because that's how I would be watching sport. The on demand streaming does tend to be very good, however, and on a 42 inch screen I'm often hard pressed to distinguish it from full hd.

I'll await reviews of the new full hd service with interest, but I fear the inclusion of BT SPORT Europe in the xl package will probably be enough to sign me up again when my current deal is up, depending on how well Virgin can do on the overall package cost.
