As it's not possible to add the SD charge twice it will just increase the bill by £7

So in my case I just hit the sky sports collection ?? or will I be better off ringing

VM are brilliant at upscaling SD channels to the point I see little difference in their HD channels. In fact on my V+ I never record HD programmes because the pic quality is marginal yet the space used on the HDD is excessive. Except sport! Hence my disappointment at them charging me £37.50 for Sky Sports with only TWO SS HD channels.

Think you may need to tweek your settings a bit then. On my set the difference is vast.

Looking at your moniker, I'd quite like to see your set first to be sure

You can definetly notice the difference, HD looks stunning on my Sony Bravia LCD and Toshiba LCD. SD looks very good.

Agreed on my 40 inch Samsung 6 Series HD looks amazing. I will say PQ varies though. Watched Cellular last night on Film 4 HD it was amazing PQ.

Trust me there is a big difference,Ive been watching the WWE on Sky Sports and the picture is amazing.However got to say the upscaling is far superior on the V+ box compared to my Sky HD box

I think its all about screen size on my 32" I can`t see any real ( or put another way any thing worth £7 per month) difference even when having sport on.

Could be my lcds are 40 and 46".

They do say you can't really notice the difference between 1080i and 1080p on 32" or smaller.

Viewing distance is a major factor - but we're going OT again...

Many say you need a 40+ inch tv to see any worth while benefits of HD over SD especially with full HD. And obviously viewing distance matters to.
