Do you bother with HD channels?
 

Since there're two threads about the new BBC ones... it dawned on me that although we have HD, I never really bother to put them on :shrug: easier to remember 101 or 103 for the basics.

We always watch the HD channels, particularly for sport....

Have a few of them but prefer just the normal channels, less hassle.. and I can't really tell the difference.

..yeah I do but it does use up a lot of memory/space if you record the HD one though...which is why most of mine get deleted before I've watched them/sore point....

Not really, i've only started to watch BBCHD and ITVHD, but I never record programs on HD cus it takes so much space, and we don't have a HD package. I'm fine with normal quality...when is it going to be the norm to have HD so that companies stop charging extra for it? Ridiculous


Say if you record an XF program it takes up 3-4% sometimes, whereas if it's normal quality it is 1% on my box

I hate watching anything in standard since getting HD, it looks blurry.

i have a hd tv but no idear what channels are hd or not. i haven't noticed any. i dont really watch bbc there shows suck.
waste of time really not a lot is hd. not much difference anyway

At home I don't have HD ans always thought 'ah how different can it be' but at Uni we do have it for our telly so I always use it, makes everything so much more vivid

It is totally absurd to have to pay an additional fee to watch HD programmes and another additional fee for 3D, Only in the UK can they get away with that. If the government could put a "Green" tax on TV they would!

Always watch them, find it hard watching non-HD channels now.

My mum and brother don't really bother though, it's just me.

We always watch them in HD, its easier. When we got our sky+HD box, all the HD channels replaced the old channels, like BBC1 was replaced by BBC1HD on channel 101 so we don't have to go searching for it,

I think my dad paid extra for channels 1-5 in HD with sky so I always have to use HD when I watch something on there, what's the point in paying for HD when you're not gonna use it

Yes because standard looks blurry

I'm the same.

No, too lazy to bother.

We might be more adventurous with our new telly.

I can just imagine the pair of us sat here with or 3D glasses on :laugh:

Yea. Its come to a point were if i miss something on a HD channel which is then available an hour later on +1, i won't watch it. Due to it not being hd lol.

Shaun its better for your eyes.

lmao I'm the same

Massive

If connected by a scart it will not work

Of course

Shaun is a Lazy Sod

Not really. Most of the terrestrial channels dont broadcast in HD all the time so I think its a bit of a waste of time. The Sky HD channels are good but too expensive for me.
