It just doesn't seem to be such a big improvement on PQ that I was expecting. The PQ on my Pioneer 5090 was very good after I had it calibrated recently anyway. Perhaps I'm expecting too much. Don't get me wrong, It's a big improvement on the Sky+ I had b/4 and I do like the new EPG although the remote is a bit slower to respond.

at a guess £30 +£49, its complicated

Your attenuation should result in a sync speed close to the maximum ( mine's 22 and I sync at 18.5 meg ) To get your max delays reduced you need to get through to...

Oooo - shiny! thank you! :-)

TBH, I don't mind the £10 per month, as I am sure, that once the majority of Sky customers are on HD, it will go the way of the old Sky+ subs, and be included in the subs - What I DO object to, is having to pay an ADDITIONAL £10 EACH if I want HD on my multiroom boxes - I already...
