    I second that! Don't you know you live in Ireland and such blatant flaunting of technical wizardry and superiority will only lead to begrudgery?

    Why, just last night, I threw the remote control at the cat!

    And I blame you and your HD BSG :D

    HAHAHAHAHA. :D

    It is pretty spectacular alright. BSG and Lost really make High Def look its best (the shrubbery in lost is so clear, it's amazing. Sounds stupid, but you really really notice it.).

    Well...now that I've done the (pretty tough) time and waited for season 3 in high def I have to say it was worth it. I'd even take standard def sky one over the quality of stuff my American cousins were sending me.

    How big does a HD episode work out at? I'd say they're bloody massive.

    And don't talk to me - I'd take standard def sky over the ****e that NTL broadcast!:(

    That's for the HR.HDTV (Half Res). These are just above DVD quality. Full res (720p) is 1.4G per episode for xvid, or 1.2G for x264 (prefer the xvid ones myself). You almost never find these through normal acquisition methods :) The actual broadcast stream for Season 3 Eps 1+2 came in at a WHOPPING 10G!!!!! (it is 1080p) This is the purest of the pure high def. Delicious!
