But that is 12 months out. Even when HD launches it needs material to watch. It will be a while before eastenders is HD, though most movies, sport and concerts are likely to be broadcast in HD.

How big a screen are you looking at, up to about 32in I personally thing regular def TV is perfectly fine, above 42in you start noticing the resolution. That assumes the channel is broadcasting full bandwidth, channels such as E4 don't.
