And now that these very clever Technos can now build invisible structures to hide tanks and stuff in, then surely, it may not be to long before we are on the 3D band wangan. So till then I will hold me horses.

Exp 1 Have you actually set your sky box to widescreen - that tends to help quite a lot. Exp 2 - Is your sky box connected via a scart - may also help Exp 3 Have you attemted to watch any modern programmes (post 1968) I've had a widescreen TV for years and these days struggle to find programmes that are't filmed in widescrteen but then I imagine as a genius you spend your time watching back issues of mastermind and university challenge and blockbusters and stuff. Alternatively put the TV back in it's box and go and play with your chemistry set.

I don't have a Degree. I didn't do A Levels. I never went to college or university, however, I do know that "I’m probably cleverer than you" is very poor grammar. You should have wrote "I’m probably more clever than you". It just goes to show, that just because you're good at one thing, doesn't automatically mean you are better than anyone else, or indeed, more intellectual. The fact that you had to lower yourself to responded to John's unncessary dig at you shows a lack of intellegence, so, no you probably aren't cleverer than him but probably about as clever.

I forked out 500 quid on a widescreen TV and less than half of the programmes shown are not filmed in widescreen so what's the point? How long do you think it will take for everything to be made in HD? Is this just not another rip off gimmick like widescreen.

It has been speculated that the 140 GB left will be used by Sky for video on demand services. The Sky HD box comes with 300 GB drive, of which 160 GB is available to the user.
