Fw: [OT] SKY - There is a technical fault with this channel please try again later.

[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Mate of mine has HD with some stupidly ridiculous expensive scaler=20
equipment - and it reports on the screen the incoming details etc. So he=20
has this showing the res. of the incoming HD feed.

He says a lot of stuff - not just Sky One - is SD (480)

The SD stuff is only on Sky One HD - the other channels ARE HD as far as=20
I've seen so far - BBC is getting much better and showing lots more -=20
really does make a difference over SD. Film channels, Nat Geographic etc=20
are good too but limited programming.
