Agreed, the Movies are set out quite nice IMO.
Would like SS 1-4 on, say, 501-504, then maybe HD1 & HD2 on 511 & 12, with hopefully 513 and 514 being reserved for HD3 and HD4

Is it only me (being a grumpy old git) that isn`t getting excited about cartoons in HD? I think Cindy needs to watch the shows she`s talking about  There are other shows on CC that I do like and will watch, but ......
On another note, does anyone have anything on ESPN America HD as yet?

Try watching South Park in HD before slamming it, animation always looks superb in HD.

Loving these new HD channels coming but now desparately need more HD disc space.
We really need the new TIVO box ASAP, purely for the bigger hard drive, which presumably it has?

I don't really want to archive, but I tend to build up a lot of programmes to watch over time. A few HD movies and the spare space rapidly starts to dissapear!

Don't you just love the way marketing people play with words!
