    Is there a reason why the picture on my freeview box is better than my ****ing sky dish? Just noticed it the other day when I bought a new TV with freeview built in. the picture on the freeview is far better than sky.

    cool thread bro

    **** off

    That's God punishing you for joining Murdoch's evil empire.

    I'd guess that was your problem then, the built in freeview comes through at TV quality where as the quality from sky needs to be routed through the sky box generally using anything other than HDMI to watch HD quality makes it look worse.

    That's assuming he's got sky hd<ok>

    To be honest if he has and is watching it through a scart, which I doubt, then there is going to be some mighty piss taking in around 5 mins<laugh>

    I'm fairly sure there is no difference in price for HD and the old sky now, in fact I'm sure they where doing a free HD box as part of the deal.

    Correct, but you do have to pay for the HD channels...no point getting the HD box if we're not going to get the HD channels...
