Re: Sky HD programme highlights for June 09

Will be interesting to compare the Blu Ray Version of Mamma Mia, which is stunning, to the Sky copy. Wonder if the Sky Copy will come anywhere near??

Did anyone catch the Box Office showing a few months back???

About time Miami Swat became a full series, watched the one off and wondered where the rest of it had gotten too

Re: Sky HD programme highlights for June 09

If Australia is half as good as the Bluray version it will look a peach

will be interesting to compare as i can tell the difference between skyHD movies and the Bluray (Iknow 1080p and 1080I) and i thought i would not be able to though.

Broadcast HD has limitations in terms of bandwidth and realtime encoding, both of these don't influence Blu-ray and that gives it the edge more often than not.

Re: Sky HD programme highlights for June 09

I hear good things about Australia so that might be the first film I've ordered in HD.

I can't recommend Gone Baby Gone highly enough but the rest is just a tarts parade.

Lie to me looks like a very good show thus far and HOUSE is just immense.

As usual Sky continue to pull out all the stops to stay top of the pile and the acquisition of even more footy didn't hurt one bit.

I just want them to get the German and Italian footy now and I'm laughin.
