Splodge wrote:It may be worth checking your TV as well - a HD Ready TV is not the same thing as a full HD set. HD ready will be an improvement over a non-HD TV, but will only go to 720p, wheras a Full HD TV will goto 1080, where the difference really will be noticeable.

My understanding is that a Full HD set receives the HD signal direct from an antenna.
A HD Ready set needs an interface ie Freeview HD or other such device to get the 1080 and hence HD.

If my Panasonic was a Full HD TV there would be no problem as it would receive HD without a box of tricks.

wider camera angles as you don't appear to get the "pixelating" grass.
My tv is a 100hz 1080 HD tv but as has previously been
stated, I needed a "box" of some description to access the
free to air HD Chanels. There is only BBC, itv and Chanel 4 which
broadcast HD at the minute with Chanel 5 coming soon I believe (apart from
satellite channels that is). At least with this box, I don't need
a dish on the house and I don't pay a susbscription.
