I read an article in a national paper, cant remember which, either the times or guardian, in fact it was on bbc online somewhere. This journalist was telling the story of his new HD tv and sky package. He happened to live in an apartment, quite close to a pub, 2 or 3 storeys high. Anyway he sat down tuned into the england paraguay game. It was a hot day, so he opened all his windows and tuned in. a couple of minutes into the game, he hears a massive roar, stands up, goes to the window and sees people cheering in the pub, he looks at his tv and beckham scores. Apparently the pitfall of HDTV is that its delayed, don't know what the delay time is but apparently its just the way it is for the moment. An "expert" told the journalist that for now he was better keeping his windows shut!

I would love to be able to afford a HDTV and box. A sky engineer came to my house and i asked him what it was like. His said, when you watch football and see faces in the crowd, with HDTV you can see their spots!
