    For anyone interested in going HD here's a good offer in Maplin's this Month
    I got one last week and it's excellent, while there is little on offer in FTA HD channels at the moment, the normal channels appear better quality which I presume is due to the HDMI connection.

    BBC are running a trial HD channel and the quality is superb.

    HD system for laptop users

    WOW a HD system for Laptop users - it's not the same.

    Steve do you have a problem with Maplin?

    This is a good deal, while it lasts

    The HD Satellite Receiver is made by Fortec Star and gets very good reviews. Normally the kit sells for Stg£259 in the UK, about €340.

    The offer ends on 18th March if anyone is interested
