    ask the question do you need
    the money it will save
    or should you give yourself a treat
    without having to slave

    if your hubby lies around
    getting fat and smelly
    my advice to you would be
    sell him and keep the telly

    It said something about having to pay for HD programmes - you won't get them for free, and that if you're not watching a HD programme then the quality is worse than non-HD TVs. I can't find it on the website though. :confused:

    HD is only available through Sky HD at the moment and very few programmes are in HD so far, few US shows on Sky One, couple of nature shows, few films and some of the bigger football games. That's about it.

    We've had it since last April when it launched, can't say I'd rave about it

    Dh's xbox 360 is hd and you can really tell the difference between HD and non hd games. Hence why he's so het up about having a hd tv! He keeps going about about some futureproofing rubbish but TBH I've stopped listening. lol! :)

    XBOX 360's aren't real HD as they don't run on a HDMI socket just a scart. So the boy's at work tell me - we work in the audio visual world I think it's just better games!! well better graphics
