I get BBC HD as I'm a Sky HD Subscriber. This is good news but I find the problem is that BBC don't put "Also on BBC HD" things on the SD programmes or when they do the "whats on now on the other BBC Channels" they don't list whats on BBC HD. Not to mention the channel is 40 channel numbers away from BBC 1, 2, 3 and 4 so if I'm just flicking I just don't get that far!
The result is that I normally end up "accidently" watching the SD version when I could be watching the HD version.
There are other shows that should be in HD that aren't. Like Match of the Day, all Premiership football is recorded in HD and as MOTD consist of highlight from this footage and a two camera studio I don't see why it can't be done? They do it for live England games!
But all that said, the Content is supreme. As you would expect from the BBC. Planet Earth, Galapagos, Later with Jool, the Proms... when I want to show off Sky HD I use BBC HD.
