Went along today with my wife to get a look. I was approached by a dude who asked if I had Sky, and I asked about HD. He showed me through to the middle of the stand where a loop was being shown on one of the new Sony displays. (KDL series) Bravia?. In the loop it had the following clips.
Liverpool winning the champions league . Very good PQ
Spiderman clip. I have seen this in HD elsewhere and it was better PQ.
Under water clips of fish and coral etc. The LG HD loop in Curries/Comet (can't remember which) was miles better than this.
No information was forthcomming about what was driving the demo but i sneaked a look around the back and it was a 3 lead component connection.
First quarter 2006 was the launch date given but no pricing info given.
The PQ did not blow me away like the LG demo but the football did look good.
Aftrer the show we visited John Lewis on Oxford st as rumour had it the Sharp 65" LCD was on view. Now this did have the WOW factor. What a display. Running a demo loop with all types of programming has me transfixed for around 20 mins. The price £13500.

That was a terrible recommendation, Sky+ is excellent.ArcticFox77 said:I've heard of a lot of problems with the sky+ boxes. I've also been recommended against buying sky+ when i was first looking to get sky installed. So do you see where i'm coming from now??

Everyone I know who has it has said that it changes the way they view tv (for the better), and problems are no more than regular Sky/NTL/etc.; and I agree with them all.
