I don't really understand HD television. How can the image of a
person on the screen look sharper than the image of a person I look at sat next to me on
a bus?
That melon twister aside, I have to admit that I love
watching sports in HD - and sadly I find I can amuse myself for quite some time just flicking back and
forth between Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports 1 HD to contrast the quality... and to
justify my weighty satellite bill.
In a recent ad promoting Sky's coverage of the Ashes, Nasser
Hussain told me that with HD you can see every revolution of the cricket ball. And
he's not lying.
But what he didn't say is that I could also see in
horrifying detail two boils about to pop on the chin on presenter Bob Willis.
It puts me off my tea.
Also, I now can't watch the other 500 channels available to
me on Sky because watching them makes me think I've developed cataracts.
So, somehow I'm now paying over £50 a months for about three
channels (I also like National Geographic HD and Discovery Channel HD for the
record).
I want my money back.
