Static graphics are pin-sharp on my SD plasma so unlikely to be sharper
in HD. The difference, I assume, is best observed in moving images,
camera pans, etc.


But on an HD plasma will of course be even more pin-shar

LOL, we watched it at my rich uncle's, he was a coal miner, tiny little
screen not helped by the fact I had poor eyesight which hadn't been
discovered. To be honest I don't remember much about it even though I
was 6.


Have you still got the free mug ... I bet they
change hands for a bit of money these days as
collectables.

There's actually some good stuff on the BBC HD channel. Nature series
like Planet Earth, Deep Blue and Galapagos are shown. Many new BBC
series are in HD and a smattering of sport (e.g. home England Euro 2004
qualifiers, tennis etc).


In fact the BBC HD signal is used as an admired model of HD quality
by many german HD enthusiasts...

That would be because the FTA German channels ProSeiben HD & Sat 1 HD have such
poor quality pictures. They are mot even in widescreen so black bars down either
side of the picture!
