Theres BBC HD, and theres some on demand HD stuff.

the output will depend on your TV. I would guess that you will want 1080 wide.

If its a widescreen TV, then you will want of the ones that is wide
and then if your TV supports 1080 then use 1080, otherwise use 720.

I use 1080. If I set the output to 1080wide - then non-widescreen pictures are stretched.

All HD ready TV's are widescreen

720 and 1080 will display 16:9 in 16:9 and 4:3 in 4:3
720 wide and 1080 wide will display 16:9 in 16:9 and will stretch 4:3 to 16:9
