    [cite]Posted By: Exiled_Addick[/cite]Agreed although mindblowing might be overstating it a bit.

    Go watch Planet Earth and come back to me.... ;-)

    Got the first two episodes of Life stored up to watch and have the Planet Earth Blu ray boxset on my Christmas list - I'm sure it will look superb, but those BBC wildlife docs were always pretty awesome on normal telly!

    Thing I've enjoyed most since I got the big telly is Kung Fu Panda on Blu Ray, the colours are spectacular.

    I have to agree on Kung Fu Panda, played through my PS3 it looks fantastic.

    Did I really just type that?!

    I'm really annoyed as I had my Sky+HD box replaced a couple of weeks ago & lost all everything on the planner (about 3 pages worth) plus I'm back on the old menu & therefore can't tune ITV to HD, not unless anyone knows something I don't know that is?

    I'd be interested to know how I can do this too, not that I ever watch anything on ITV.

    Happened to us too - We had a Thomson box with the new EPG, but those boxes are notoriously unreliable - Had about 20 hours worth of stuff recorded, sadly all gone. Now got a Samsung box but the EPG hasn't been fully rolled out yet.

    IF Virgin ever pull their collective fingers out of their backsides and get Sky Sports on HD then I will convert to them.

    You can tune it in as an added channel. But they rarely use it to be honest.

    can't you just dial up the channel number on any SKY hd box regardless of make? I wouldn't know as I moved to freeSAT for ITV HD before it became available on SKY

    I had it on the old EPG and have retained it on the new EPG.... Try this:

    go to the Add Channels menu and use the following settings:

    11.427
    H
    2/3
    27500

    Anyone else hark back to the days when the only thing you did with a tv was to tune the nob to the right to get Jimmy Hill and to the left to get Brian Moore?

    anyone know the channel to input for ITV HD through virgin hd box?

    most stunning looking Blu-rays ive watched are Walle, Batman the Dark Knight.

    I can go to the Add Channels and put in the above but then how do I get it to save ? Probably being dense but have tried a few times with no luck.

    Wall-E on blueray is awesome. I never get tired of watching this film.

    Tried installing ITV HD and my box wouldn't let me. Will have to wait until we get the new EPG.

    VM have no plans to take Sky sports HD content. Bummer.

    its hardly ever actually on so perhaps thats why, I select it on Freesat using the red button for certain events, not sure how it works with a sky or virgin box tho

    Its accessed through the 'other channels' option within the Sky software. Listed as channel 10510... but you can't just type the number in....

    Finally persuaded Sky to install HD for nothing and give me the box for free......

    Currently watching Villa vs Wolves the difference is staggering.

    [cite]Posted By: Clem_Snide[/cite]Finally persuaded Sky to install HD for nothing and give me the box for free......

    Currently watching Villa vs Wolves the difference is staggering.

    Sky phoned me on Tuesday, asked why I didn't want HD, told them I've had Sky for years and it pisses me off that new customers get the box and installation for nothing. Plus the fact I can't warrant another £10 a month.

    He offered me a free HD box, free installation and 12 MONTHS FREE SUBSCRIBTION. Oh and they would move my current Sky+ box upstairs as I already have multi-room for no charge.

    I took 10 seconds to think about it and it's being installed tomorrow morning.

    He also said it can be cancelled after the free 12 months (all of this confirmed in a letter today).

    Happy days.
