I have to agree with Robbin Nichol to a very large extent.

Do I want to pay out lots of money to watch either commercials or repeats, that I don't want to watch at normal resolutions anyway.

On a Saturday night on the BBC (& ITV) channels has turned into fecking pink night (I am not however macho enough to watch SKY 1, 2 or 3).

For the most part becasue I have a real life and a family, I find it hard to even get watching 1 DVD a month, and even then I'm more interested in the bloody story, than worrying about artifacts on screen during particularly large (and unrealistic) explosions.

I'd rather the blu-ray, HD-DVD and HD TV marketing budgets and tech was spent on making something I could watch without shuddering.

Hmmm thats why I stick to BBC Radio 4 6 & 7
