SD does look grim, for me I think it's the compression artefacts rather than the resolution.

Most SD channels seem to average about 1.6Mb/s with MPEG4 compression and that's squeezing things just a bit too tight for my liking.

Still, most SD viewing is Sky News as I'm too cheapskate to pay for the package with HD. Would be good if they threw in Sky News HD to those on the lowest package but I suppose they want to encourage people to move up!
