RE: Sky HD Site

["Ian Lowe" <ian.lowe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have to admit to being dramatically underwhelmed by HD so far - the
video samples floating around are very, very nice... but the DRM
handcuffs make it a complete no-no.

Unless the copyright environment looks a whole lot looser, I really
don't fancy making the switch. I bought a lot of stuff on VHS, then
bought a lot of that again on DVD, I'm damned if I'm going to be buying
it again in HD, unless I get some freedom of usage!

Ian.

Does anyone do 1080p?

The bandwith requirements on 1080p are immense and I don't know anywhere
that is broadcasting in 1080p ... 1080i is as good as you'll get and
720p has been accepted as the European HiDef standard as far as I know.
