And should I get Sky HD? The installer guy reckoned it would be worthwhile but my telly is only a basic 32" LCD and am thinking if it's HD the picture won't be fast enough and it'll blur... any experiences or feedback?

And my telly is HD ready (has the HD connector apparently) but don't wanna get it if it'll be poos...

LED is the way to go. Saves power and better picture. more expensive tho i think.

I'm not buying a new telly SB, am asking whether upgrading the MySky to HD is worthwhile with the cheapo "HD Ready" LCD that I've got... the new telly is six mths away

I'm waiting for the 3D stereoscopic TV's to arrive, an LED version or the Lazer version would be awesome. Just in time for Avatar and hopefully in a 50" model. bet they'll start off at 7 grand. Two years later, 2 grand.

'HD ready' simply means that the picture is 720p, while 'full' HD is 1080p.

It is definitely worth getting MySky HDi on an 'HD ready' tv, the difference is vast.
