Re: Big screen TV viewing distances question

I don't think I'm planning on getting Sky+ HD any time soon, not=20
until they remove the =A310 charge anyway, as I don't subscribe to=20
movies so it would only be the HD sport channel that would interest=20
me.
Even if I got Sky+ HD the vast majority of TV watching would still be=20
SD and I'm not a huge movie watcher so I thought grab a decent 720p=20
plasma and possibly upgrade a good few years from now when HD=20
channels are more common.

Thanks for the advice though.
