Great news! Will try it out tonight.

I wonder if the BBC actually remember about that thing they call Freesat that they launched last year? C'mon, give us some love!

Good news for Virgin customers i guess. Kinda regretting the PZ81 purchase now, may as well have got a PZ80 and another Sky+ HD box (i didn't because Sky wanted £200 for it, the PZ81 only cost me £100 more than the PZ80).

Sounds good. May have to check this out.

Well, that's carp. If there's one programme that gets broadcast on BBC HD that I'd want in HD, it'd be Later With Jools Holland. Is it there? Is it heck as like. BBC, are you listening?

Same with Friday night with Jonathan Ross - broadcast on BBC HD, available on iplayer in HD, yet virgin media on demand is only standard definition.

Is it the same at when BT Vision did BBC HD on demand and you have to pay extra for each program, when if you've paid for the TV reply package!

I take it back, looks like the latest one's gone up.
