| 787786 | 2009-07-01 07:14:00 | I like freeview :). I was watching a replay of Wimbledon last night on TVNZ Sports Extra (now thats something you don't get on Sky ;)). Pros: Great picture/HD, EPG, works easily enough on a PC :). Cons: My EPG takes a while (about 3-5 secounds) to load each channel, No Prime :(. |

| 787789 | 2009-07-01 07:42:00 | Freeview is Good :), Can get HD, The only thing is it’s hard to tell what’s true HD & what is upscale HD :illogical (And its sucks that TVNZ is only 720p, while tv3 is 1080i :stare:) 720p essentially looks the same as 1080i. |

| 787790 | 2009-07-01 07:46:00 | 720p essentially looks the same as 1080i. Yes I can't see any difference. Use to watch all the NZ channels on Sky but now that I have Freeview HD I don't anymore, except Prime as most of you know why. :) |

Use to watch all the NZ channels on Sky but now that I have Freeview HD I don't anymore, except Prime as most of you know why. :) I'm not going to go into a massive rant explaining the differences between progressive and interlaced, but you can only see the difference between 720p and 1080i when you're watching sports or fast paced scenes. In 1080i the image will have visual artifacts and ghosting. |

| 787795 | 2009-07-01 11:38:00 | Just finished watching Prisonbreak on 40" of series 6 Samsung full HD 100Hz goodness; it looked just fantastic. I never thought for a moment before I had it, that broadcast television could look so good. Bring on the blue ray player (at a reasonable price). | AvonBill (11358) | ||
