A lot of stuff on Sky's own HD channels is surprisingly poor quality. I notice it with Arrow especially, the audio sounds extremely muddy and dull. Even had an episode a few weeks back where they were pushing all the dialogue (centre channel) through the rear channels instead. Utterly bizarre.
Do you still prefer Blu rays to Streaming content?

I use Netflix and Amazon by post rental.
I prefer bluray, but streaming is perfectly fine for me. I only buy a bluray if it's going to be a keeper that I will watch many times.
I'm thinking about cancelling by post rental soon as I often struggle to find stuff to add to my rental list and the fact that Amazon rental is increasing there prices for long term members on the old £4 pm package too £7.99, still cheap if you rent loads but I don't.
I just wish there was a streaming provider that had almost all new/old movies so you could stick to one provider.

Depends on what I'm watching, if it's tv series, disney films for my daughter and stuff like that then the I use Netflix for convenience but when I'm sitting down to watch a proper film then it's always a blu-ray. The picture quality is very noticable and with a fairly decent surround setup the audio is much much better than streamed stuff.
Sorry for the thread revival, but I'm quite the opposite - I can only find titles I really want on postal rental rather than streaming. I'm going to sack off Netflix straight after I've seen Season 3 of House of Cards, and Amazon Prime after it expires next month.
