Sky Hd

I once read that satellite TV is most popular with a certain class of society. Why is that?

I myself don't have satellite telly, I don't have enough time in the day for the first 5 channels never mind the rest. Even then the first 5 are usually utter tosh.

You are a cheapskate boring loser?

You're right, in an effort to ‘better’ myself visited the Tate modern and started reading Dostoevsky but I found myself pining for Premiership football and CSI. Must be my upbringing.

If looking at tinned Human Poo at the Tate is bettering yourself.... I will pass thanks.

Went over to my neighbour's house at the weekend and while the TV was on noticed a big improvement over the "Sky HD" service I had @18 months ago.

The picture is better (abeit with some noise) but the sound is still pap.

I would probably get it after they know off the extra £10 fee, or get a freeview HD tuner.

Fine if you call 720p HD. I don't.

The best 42" plasma you could get until Pioneer discontinued them was 720p.

On a screen size of 40” or less and sat at the correct viewing distance the human eye cannot tell the difference between 1080P and 720P, 1080P is useful if you have a bigger screen and like to sit too close.

SD pictures generally look worse on a 1080P than they do on a 720P, it all depends on the scalar.
