    I've not seen any actually hdtv (video) content yet but I can see why it's going to be a lot better.

    High Definition. It's basically how things are supposed to be seen.

    Absolutely AMAZING quality - you see every single bit of detail!!

    An example, on the Xbox 360, the NBA game you can even see the sweat dripping off the players :laugh:

    Sleepy, how are you watching HDTV? Do you have a DVD player that is playing this format?

    SKY was supposed to be offereing HD packages by January.

    It's not even real HDTV though I've read.

    Also, does anyone else find Sky looks a bit compressed, bit like low quality divx?
