If you haven't got Sky HD then I'd recommend a 37" (or more) freesat enabled TV, so you can get BBC HD channels without any subscription charges. Myself I have Sky SD plus freesat.

Well I'd probably want SkyHD if not for the HD episodes of the Simpsons. Would definitely get a freesat tv though. Going further and further off topic....... does your TV now support streaming over the net through iPlayer?Quote:

The specs for streaming TVs seem to change every few days, and some of them are tied to certain providers - the LG I looked at uses NetFlix, and to get iPlayer needs a firmware update. Personally I'd connect the PC and a cordless mouse and not be tied down, you've got the whole internet plus your own media collection to choose from. Just ensure your graphics card will support the native resolution of your panel and off you go!Quote:

If only we could get Virgin cable here!

The BBC will broadcast Formula 1 in high definition for the first time this coming season. The move comes after F1 commercial body FOM confirmed that all broadcasters will be supplied with a high-definition feed for the first time.
w00t!
Jake's blogged about the changes - I gather from his tweets that he wrote this a few days ago but couldn't say anything until now:
