It's AWESOME - no other word for it.

You havn't been watching HD content then.. :S

You do get used to it, but they're a world apart.

Remember, only certain things are HD.. (even on the HD channels)

 

[Justin]

aye, sky sports HD is no difference on it.. the movies are slightly better, but not really worth an extra £120 a year imo

 

[everyoneisawinner]

totally pissed of tho didnt c the designer boxes they look awsome too late for me to change now gutted

 

[Daz]

No difference on HD sports?
Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaatt? Heh

Are you using a scart from the HD box?

 

[Justin]

god knows.. its not mine, its my parents.. but i honestly dont notice any difference.. sky guys installed it

 

[Daz]

I'd have a look at the connections mate.
The difference is very noticable on say, a premiership game.. Films less so difference, but football.. definetely.

There isnt many sky hd channels atm is there ?

 

[Daz]

There's not loads, but there's more HD content on them than people think.
Channel 4 HD just started, and that has the occasional thing on etc.

 

[everyoneisawinner]

[Daz]

Yep.
Not loads on it, but the occasional HD programme, which is nice

PMSL at the "there's no difference" comments.. Get some glasses..

I've had Sky HD for just over 6 months and it's awesome. Watch a footy match in HD for 10 minutes and then change to the same channel in SD and it's like watching a really bad asian vhs copy.

Some of my HD favourites so far -

Football
Cricket
Mountain
Palins New Europe
Prison Break
American Chopper
Various disaster/plane crash programs on NG HD
Some decent stuff on History HD channel
Loads of HD stuff on Anytime

I got HD at home on my 40 inch, and when you watch shows/films on HD its very very impressive.

Very much so worth the money.

lol love it.

I have had HD for about 1 year now and its fooking awesome .

Any channel / programme in HD is noticeably different.

It's pricey but really good. When watching Robin Hood on BBC 1 and then on BBC HD there is a massive difference. I think so far the content on Discovery HD is by far the best quality.

4hd is my current fav. ch140 on sky hd

Sound is also better on HD broadcasts.
