    1080p on my screen (At least looks higher than 720p) though obviously depends on monitor res.

    Welcome to 21st Century Britain, where our broadband infrastrucutre is put to shame by many developing countries.

    Also, I wish I got 5mbit :waah:

    Tantrums should be met with overwhelming brutal and sustained force.... failing that only feed her sprouts for a month till she learns ..
    I'd personally opt for a quick beating rather than eat sprouts

    I'm sure the other residents of the household would support the beating > sprouts argument.

    my mother insists on over cooking sprouts .. until they melt into the crockery if left to stand too long, resembling a pea soup .. <feeling slightly ill now>

    Some good taste in TVs in this thread.

    Bought it for £100 just a year after the previous owner had spent £1200 on it. Win.

    I live about 3 miles away from an Infinity area, but sadly I'm on a village exchange which will probably be one of the last in the country to get any services other than bog standard BT Wholesale ADSL.

    :sigh:
