Sky HD

[beegeebee]

Is SKy HD worth the extra cost? I presently have Sky+ linked to a Panasonic 720p TV. All looks great to me as do the dvd's I paly through it so, is an upgrade worth the extra tenner a month?

[ChuckFickens]

in my opinion you won't see a huge improvement as you only have a 720p TV, if you had either of the 1080 HD TVs then yes I'd say it is a noticeable difference.

Many thanks Chuck, it is what I suspected. Sky doing a little over hyping. B.

I like having HD, I have a 1080 tv

The bigger the screen .. the more it's worth it.

[tastymorsel]

No.I have cancelled mine,can scarcely see any difference

I really don't know why 720p was sold. However, if you had the 1080 your dvds would look no better unless they were blu ray played on a blu ray player.
I am not convinced that Sky broadcast at 1080 and think it could all be a case of the emperor's new clothes.

I watch sport and when I go from the normal sports channel to the hd there is a clear difference

[sherrardk]

We have HD and I can't see the difference (but then again, my TV is usually covered with lots of smeary, little hand prints!).

[AlBags]

HD relies on a great broadcast, great signal, and a really good quality display with good connections .. HDMI or Component.
Cheap displays, scart leads and cheap HD boxes will degrade perceived picture quality.

My reply would be the same as cazzz1975.massive difference.

[Sooper]

Yep me too, i can see a massive difference but as others have pointed out you need the right kit!

My brother has hd on freeview and there is quite a difference.

[cazzz1975]

everybody loves raymond was in hd the other day, cracking picture.. not sure what you mean eddie

[kawakiri]

Don't bother, I have a 720p TV and Sky HD, there is a slight difference but nothing worth bothering about. I'm considering cancelling mine.
Get ready for the next push with 3D.

HD's ok,nothing to write home about - most difference I've noticed is watching golf. Only took it cos sky offered me 6 months free and free installation and set up. Give them a call and tell them you want to cancel - u'll b surprised at the offers they make.

[AlBags]

Change TV from 720 to 1080p display (premium quality brand) You will see the difference.

^^ Quite!! I dont know how people cannot see the difference unless they either have poor eyesight or have ropey old kit that perhaps isnt capable of much?! Baffles me!!
