        I got a virgin box for free a couple of months ago, because I refused to pay for cable on the grounds that the amount of tv I watch isn't worth the amount I pay for the license let alone cable prices on top. I hate the way when you watch something the picture ghosts all the time until the adverts come on and then all of a sudden you have a crystal clear reception until the program resumes. I think I'm being ripped off.

        Reduced bitrates can do things like this. It's one of the tricks to deal with their bandwidth problems - satellite like Sky have about 8.8Gb/s total system bandwidth, Virgin have about 4.8Gb/s.

                No, not what lots of you are thinking ;P Yesterday I had SKY HD installed (UK satellite) and unplugged the Virigin Media cable box. Finally rid of that piece of £"$%^^%*^$($ X| REAL HD (not HD MPEG2) and decent SD, none of that rubbish SD that VM transmit at what I'm pretty certain is about 60% of the bitrate needed. *Gentle sigh* :cool: All I need now is one of these[^] :-D
