You are a sad person. Get a life!

PS: I do exactly the same!

Ohh I didn't know that. I thought it was included in the HD mix.

I imagine then it's the other HD channels (Discovery, Nat Geo) etc. that you'll have to subscribe to the Knowledge pack.

Some of the HD channels are included in the basic HD package. We get Nat Geo HD and Discovery HD but none of the SD documentary channels as we dont have that package. The same with MTV HD/ Sky news HD but we dont get the SD music/news channels.

Golf is absolutely beautiful in HD.
I like toggling between SD and HD to see the difference - anyone who doubts whether HD is worth it, just show them the difference with the golf coverage, its fabulous. Roll on the Ryder Cup.

Amen to that

This might be the right place to ask a question.... I have a Panasonic Viera telly, with 1 hdmi slot in the back..... BUT I have a ps3 and soon to have SKY HD.... I want to use both of these via HD, so is there a splitter or something that I can buy to make this happen?

You're certainly a convert I'm sure I can remember a couple of years ago you couldn't see the benefit of HD

Yes.

Do a search for "HDMI" on amazon (using the link at the top of this page), lots of the options are simply cables, but evey once in a while on the list is an option for various switchers like that, the one above was just the first I saw.

i find the perfect way to show off hd is toggling between itv and itv hd when they are showing live football. It just shows how much the picture is degraded!

shame i can't upgrade all the 80's games on video!

You're quite correct, for a while I needed persuading that it was worth it. I can remember watching football at a mates house, and once I'd got over the initial impact of the crisp picture, after a while I kind of forgot I was watching in HD and took it for granted.

And there IS still an element of that, to be fair. But then I got a blu-ray player, which showed me on my own TV just how fabulous the picture was, so I decided for an extra tenner a month (with a free box on offer and free installation) I thought might just as well upgrade, and I certainly don't regret it, especially when I flick and see the difference.

The SD picture on ITV is truley appalling, I don't know how I ever put up with it.

I told you to buy high grade tapes way back then!

Do you have to add the ITV HD channel or is it available normally now?

Channel 178

Thank you.

Have phoned Sky and it turns out they had our two boxes muddle up and activated the HD packages on the main box which is still just Sky+. So have swapped the cards and they have reactivated them. Got to wait the 4 hours now though

If it doesn't work the reason will be that the new white Sky cards are paired to the box they were initialised in.

Oh really? That doesn't sound good!

The new white cards are tied to one box so they can't be used in another digibox as people were using them whilst on holiday here or abroad.

Surely the nice lady on the phone has over-rided that though?
