Re: High definition Vs Standard Definition
If you can see OK in SD why bother paying for the HD?
Re: High definition Vs Standard Definition
Its possibly worse quality than some of the streaming sites available
Re: High definition Vs Standard Definition
Good job all our streams are in HD then
Re: High definition Vs Standard Definition
Can depend on your broadband speed. I used to have Sky on SD and the picture quality was awful until I upgraded to faster fibre and then it was fine. Admittedly not as good as HD, but perfectly watchable.

When we did have picture problems it was the fixing from the TV cable to the arial the fitter said it's a common fault.

What size screen did you watch it on?
Re: High definition Vs Standard Definition
Sky have offered me the full sports package in HD for £17 pm over 18 months. Is it a good deal?

Nope. HD should now be no extra, with Ultra HD the additional cost.karatekid wrote:Sky have offered me the full sports package in HD for £17 pm over 18 months. Is it a good deal?
Re: High definition Vs Standard Definition
£15 for the sports and £2 for the HD even though I already have a HD package on my current subscription. He said the sports HD wouldn't be included in it.

All games are filmed on HD cameras now, so any SD is just compressed and descaled HD images, coupled with the fact were all used to HD and even 4K.

Re: High definition Vs Standard Definition
HD is what used to be SD in terms of default. Like Claptrappers says, they are taking the Michael. And Sky need to sort their lives out and start the channel guide with HD. Why would anybody prefer to watch BBC1 SD when they have the option of HD?

I can imagine it matters if you spend an arm and a leg and lots of time in front of your tv.
I doubt it will ever matter to me

BBC can't even show the regional news in HD. Pathetic.
