Very challenging

For those of you watching in black and white, the pink is behind the green...............
But back on iPlayer, the HD version works very well on my Windows 7 test system.
So I bought a DVI-D to HDMI cable which has just arrived and will see if I can get it on my TV later.

Quote Lowe had the occasional on-air gaffe, similar to motor racing commentator Murray Walker; Lowe's most famous quote was, "for those viewers watching in black and white, the pink ball is just behind the green" and he once told viewers that Fred Davis, struggling to rest one leg on the edge of the table in order to reach a long shot, "is getting on a bit and is having trouble getting his leg over

Which seems to work fine.

Plenty of messing about to get the correct (optimum?) display settings for the TV and still need to sort out the sound link properly.
The picture quality of an HD iPlayer program doesn't look significantly different to normal broadcast Freeview though.

All now working rather well once I'd sorted out the arcane options for analogue and digital sound in both the PC and the TV, and then found the best display settings.
Streaming HD at about 3.5mbps works fine on my 21mbps ASDSL2+ connection and it's a bit better than a "good" Freeview broadcast (not all Freeview channels are broadcast at the best quality) but not like "proper" broadcast HD.
I wouldn't try it on T*****i though
And a 30-minute program is almost 1GB either downloaded or watched online so heavens only knows what this will do to ISP backbone capacity.

Last time I tried to watch TV in general it was challenging. 168 channels all full of pants stuff.
Not renewing my TV licence although I did get the iplayer to work in HD and it was very good.
One thing though. The iplayer is on virgin media's on demand service. I wonder as they are not interested in HD channels but are interested in on demand content if they will actually allow the Iplayer to be HD on their service.?

Actually, has anyone had a look at http://freetube.110mb.com/
There are hundreds of TV channels (plays in a medium size box on your screen).
All free.
There even seems to be some free "Adult Content" channels especially for Jacqui Smith and family.
