the action shots were very grainy (as per every war movie made in the last ten years) but I thought the rest of the footage was above average actually... sorry

Definitley poor quality (On Sky Digital) - I couldn't tell whether it was the film or the broadcast.

Some scenes were so bad that I kept switching sides to check I didn't have a reception or hardware problem.

I seem to remember that MI6 drama Spooks last year having a couple of episodes like that - Was'nt the BBC to blame then - something to do with broadcast bandwidth?

I may be completely wrong but it did kinda spoil the show for me.
