Having a good TV, a higher pixel count and a HD source doesn't mean you have to sit closer, it means you can sit closer, the picture quality doesn't miraculously change to SD beyond a certain point as some people think it does.”

Doh, i stand corrected

Have posted i couldnt see difference in SD - HD Just tried the tennis/ serve/ net shots, and it is alot clearer in HD.
Viewing distance on either SD or HD Doesnt make any difference to the picture.
Dam, grass looks better when they are sat down for a break, doh i think im getting HD bug

Havent spotted it before as didnt have same shot on same program on both channels long enough to spot the difference.
Dam, going have to pay sky the extra to turn it on now, thanks guys

Oh and ps, it is a new panny plasma.
