Sky HD

[Batch]

Comet near Asda (Orbital?) have a Sky HD demo. Dixons in town had a general HD demo but it wasn't using Sky HD as a source.

I'm the same boat really can't fathom if it's woth the extra expense of not.  

Are we talking DVD quality or better?

In theory it should be better than DVD quality. By beter I mean more detailed because the resolution is higher.

In practice I strongly recommend you check it out before investing.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Jesus wept! £299 for an HD Sky Box? then another £10 a month on top of everything else?

Fuck off.

There's a limit to how good a tv picture can be.

Cheers Batch, I can't tell the difference anyway so it's a case of ignorance being bliss either that I need to get the old eye peepers tested.

If they've got it set up properly then you can definitely see the difference - they've got it in the Currys here in Salisbury.

I'd liken it to watching a DVD after being used to video, or listening in Stereo instead of Mono.

Saying that, I still won't be spending my money on it just yet
