Pointless having Sky HD if...

HD is all spin.

Once you get past the wow-factor does it really add that much more to television? No.

Take watching Lost, sure it looks impressive in HD but we watch more for the story than anything and with Lost being filmed in HD people watching in SD already benefit from improved picture quality.

Have you got Sky HD ? yes or no ?

I have and i very happy with it, the line up on sky can only get better.

Even my sister was impressed with planet earth on it! , shes 35 !

So how is your 12" black and white then? License fee is less than half the price of colour and you don't miss out on anything right.

Yes it does add more to television, the idea of it is to enjoy it and if it looks better that helps.

Whether it's worth the price is another matter entirely.

For me, that is the key question. Although I've got the kit for it, there just isn't enough, content wise YET, for me to upgrade my Sky+ box.

I'm sure that it will only be a matter of time though .......
