I know bud,just personal preference don't watch sd channels my TV guide on TiVo is permently on favourites and there all hd channels.
Regarding sky Atlantic I hope is does turn up,It's sky that have lost out on the extra money I have watched all the big programmes off it by other means and in hd (of course) and so have others so if it does great but if its sd only well I will continue watching by other means there loss.Universal is the one I really miss loads of program's I would love to record on my TiVo but had to obtain again by other means sd picture for me is a backwards step(again personal preference)
The next few weeks are going to be very interesting me thinks I hopefully we are going to see the benefits of our new owners and show the way they are moving forward.
finally got a email back from ch4 regarding more 4hd today and basically they want to go on the vm platform but are awaiting a channel allocation from vm so looking good on that one,still awaiting a reply from universal hd owners(only been a month).could be they have finally got fed up with my monthly email regarding the channel gonna after start emailing vm now

This whole HD/SD debate amazes me - Sky make such a big deal of HD, yet less than half their customer base actually take it?

Main reason for that is the £10 hd charge,if that was stopped there would be a lot more.Customers just look at it that they are paying twice for the same channel bud

Why would any normal household need 2TB? I have the 1TB TiVo which is currently holding around 35 HD movies and hours and hours of TV shows and series for me, the Mrs and the baby and still around 25% free. In all honesty, I don't think I'm ever going to get round to watching it all.

It is surprising how much you collect. Normally i would get close to 75% full on my old box (no HD recordings) when going on hols for 3 weeks.

I usually moved programmes to my dvd recorder's hard/drive, then either to dvds (for hols) or watched it later.

Now no worries, I will hopefully never get more than 1/2 full. But who knows.
