I think that's where things have gone wrong. Some other HD channels broadcast very good HD: Eurosport and Rush for example, but we're being dished up "ok" or at worst "bad" HD from BBC HD now, whereas they used to broadcast an excellent picture.

I've seen many BD's that have that "wow" factor. But I think I understand where you're coming from awesometeeth, that basically we're getting more used to that level of PQ, so that something has to be pretty exceptional for us to notice it. Although the same could be said, that when something is bad, we're now noticing that more too!

I bought the 1st season of Big Bang Theory recently on DVD (I know its filmed in HD), and when played back via the PS3's Blu-Ray drive the picture is exceptional! Don't see the point in spending extra to get the BD if that's how good it comes out on DVD!
