I was just wondering which one everyone will be watching? A lot of people (myself included) now have ITV HD & Sky Sports HD, so the choice is tricky.

I think it'll be Sky Sports for me. I like the commentating more.

Let's just hope I won't spend most of the game comparing PQ between the two channels!

SSHD better quality, and commentating so that i guess.

ITV here, don't have SS

[gebbel]

This will the 1st time I get a game in HD...ITV HD via freesat in this case! Can't wait!

[Woodywizz]

Sky Sports HD for me.....do have ITVHD as well, but I cannot bear listening to Clive Tyldesley and the inane comments of Andy Townsend.

PQ is fairly equal between the two - I have been very impressed with the PQ of ITVHD so far.

I'm buying a Freesat box just for the final

[Wild Weasel]

If I had a choice I'd watch it in Sky.

Clive Tyldesley is obviously paid by the word and never shuts up.

[RMCF]

I'll be in the bar watching it, so whatever they decide.

Will probably not be able to hear the commentary anyway, but God ITV have the worst pundits ever.

[oj0]

If I was watching at home then I would have to say ITV (or ITV HD if I had it) on the basis that its best to give some support to a terrestrial (sp?) channel so that they continue to show us top notch footy for free. However I shall be propping up the bar in my local and they only show SS so its that for me.

In fairness, Andy Gray is as much of a berk as David Pleat but at least Pleaty comes up with some truly funny comments (none of which are intended) throughout the match.

Pub, Sky

When I went to the Barca v Chelski semi the place was buzzing. A great atmosphere and I lost my voice for a day after that winning goal lol. Would love to experience the same again for what will hopefully be a good game for the neutral

Staying cooped up indoors with the flatmates not really the same. Plus we would be forced to watch ITV I've seen better coverage from YouTube

David Pleat needs shooting (I do not necessarily mean that in the literal sense). Any person who makes one debate whether Jamie Redknapp is really worse must be doing something incredibly wrong

[danuk]

Sky sports hd for me.
The commentatory is so much better than itv's. I never used to like andy gray when he first started on sky but over the premiership years I've come to appreciate what he does a lot more.
David pleat is rubbish, speaks a load of monotone rubbish.

[DrWise]

Sky hd

[Kawsar17]

Agree with the comments about david pleat, can't stand the guy, but itvhd for me as I don't have sshd

[loz_the_guru]

ITV HD here, its free!

[SparkShot]

sky sports hd for me so that i can see ronaldo's tears better when barca hopefully stuff manure.

Is ITV HD free using a DVB-S2 Card?

[Scholes18]

Sky HD

hehe oh yeah ..oopsy

The funny thing i was typing that through a huge hangover and i was thinking "three" but somehow wrote (without looking hehe ) "two".

I blame the thought of hearing david pleat in my head as i typed for turning my brains to mush , well more than last nights beer did anyway

Here it is in 2 words

"he's depressing"

[mabo]

David "Chimbomba" Pleat can do that to anyone.

[sevenxl77]

Sky Sports HD - Has DD. Unsure if ITV HD also has DD?

That's an interesting point. I don't know the answer but... I can't see the use of DD for football?

Kill the sound and put the radio on - used to do that a lot

SKYHD for me though. Pleat and Townsend <shudder>

[Scholes18]

Tyldesley is fine but itv's choice of co-commentators ( including jim "slight bias " beglin ) is woeful.

[RMCF]

If I wasn't heading to the pub, then it would be RTE, IReland's braodcaster.

That way I can avoid Pleat, Tyldesley AND Keys, Redknapp and Gray.

Result.

[thelegendofyrag]

[adam88]
