Superb.

I have a plasma by the way, colour balance, richness, reality of image, second to none.
Quite. It's a shame LCDs are dominant as plasma looks so much nicer. LCDs have an artificial, overly contrasty, digital look which makes even high end HD content look unrealistic. A good plasma will win out any day.

When the Wales v England rugby union game was on last season on BBC HD, my mates who came around to watch it said it was like being there in the stadium as the picture quality was that good.

Apparently ESPN haven't yet got the equipment to broadcast HD. It will be trialled with the start of the EPL season, Everton v Arsenal, and gradually other games and sports will be broadcast in HD. UFC 102 will be in HD.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
thats probably why its free on virgin in august otherwise tons of ppl would phone virgin up for a refund as ESPN HD isn't HD.

Atleast it makes SD watchable, they only have 1 week till 15th when premiership starts, wonder if they will have hd ready by that time, i'm not convinced.

I have to say I turned onto the German game on the Hd channel and didn't think much of the picture. it looked just as bad as Setanta used to and the pitch wasn't very clear. Not sure if this was true HD though

Why would anyone ask for a refund? There is no extra charge for HD.
