Sky 1 season 3

Praetorian

Super!

Khannie

Yesh! High def!

Hooray. I wonder if Sky One will catch up with the US before the new episodes start airing in the US.

Edit: Looks like Season 3 is resuming earlier than I thought in the States. January 12th.

I got mine from tv.com. Obviously it's nowhere near as reliable as in the tvtome days.

There was an ad on sky one the last night and I'm sure it said Tuesday 9th January!

Checking entertainment.ie program listings confirms it.

The new season of BSG starts on sky one next week!

I think the lads are talking about the remainder of S3 in the US, or on download.

Im planning to wait myself and get the mega mega box set a few years down the road but i already have season 1 i suppose i should pick up season 2 to hold me over, and ye
21 is US Episode 12
09 is Sky Episode 1

Overheal

for those of you not forunate enough to catch season 3 yet; a few of its later episodes are available on youtube and dailymotion (an indexing website, www.peekvid.com, has easy-links to these) however I didnt spot the first few eps up there: the good news is after the first couple have aired on skyone, you can spin up your FTL and catch up with the US in no time and may I just say dammit; I envy those of you with high def: especially for 'Exodus'

And "Ressurection Ship" Part II
Oh and "Scatterd"

All of season 1 and 2 as well as the first eleven episodes of season 3 are on it.

As well as Scrubs and many more.

Why work when you can watch tv!

The great day has arrived! High def season 3!!!

I stopped watching at around episode 6 because my american cousins kept sending me ****ty versions. Thought it was worth waiting for the high def. Tonight (or probably tomorrow) will see whether I'm a muppet.

Sodding Desperate Housewives are bound to take up the only Sky-box connected telly.

Good God man! Put the boot down! If it's on Channel 4 then it'll be repeated infinitely.

Good ole HD, have stopped getting from the US in anticipation of HD broadcasts here
Sky are really getting up to speed, in a few weeks we'll have 24 and Lost also in HD

emm it will be 7 weeks wait if you stopped at episode 6
anyway i have to say i don't get it ill get the Americana cousins then buy the DVD`s what is so good about hi-def relay i mean im picking up a hi-def TV but im having trouble truly seeing it. a friend of mine has a 42 inch and he watched serenity the day before yesterday in hi-def and he said it was absolutely savage.

so i am interested but in sonly shows and dixions ect it looks pretty much the same as my monitor

Also what do u mean they where sending you ****ty versions? how does this happen?

Ah, it's been a while, so I'll start watching at episode 1 again.

If you're having trouble seeing it, it means you haven't seen a high def source on a native high def TV (or maybe it's scaled in some way?). The difference is truly stunning.

Most of the shops I've seen High Def TV's in don't actually have high def stuff on them. It's upscaled DVD (which is good, but nowhere near native high def).

I thought the quality of the interlaced TV rips was very very poor. To me they looked like they were poorly deinterlaced and done with a single pass encode (in the race to release them quickly). They are two things absolutely guaranteed to destroy the quality of the picture (I encode a lot of video because I watch tv shows on my PSP on my long train journey every day).

I'll post a screenshot from a high def episode of season 2 later today and you can see just how delicious it looks by comparisson. In particular, you can really see the difference during space scenes.

Seen anything thats been shown of season three already but will probably watch again if only to see it in better quality etc. Still roll on the 21st!

Cheers i look forward to it im buying a tv at the end of the month and this bsg pic will make my decision
im buying a wide screan tv so i can chill and watch every single episode back to back again

well....here are some links (each image is between 500K and 1M, so they're large enough, but worth the download if you haven't seen high def stuff).

BE WARNED: These shots are from Season 2, Episodes 11 and 12. If you have not seen that far yet, these WILL spoil it for you. edit: The first two are safe for everyone to look at.
