    No don't work for Primetime, I just didn't watch it on a sky box and quite honestly I was wondering why the picture was sooooo soft, so checked the recording with media Info.

    I wanted to keep the better quality recording.

    I love boxing but most of the debate is done to death on these forums anyway. I doubt I'd actually be adding anything, so I rarely post.

    I might, might have bought it if it was in HD. As it was I just got a good nights sleep and watched via HBO in HD at 9 in the morning. Perfect.

    PT desperately need to invest in HD, especially cos its a PPV and every PPV should be sold as an attraction/event.

    It needs to be decent quality HD though, not not some heavily compressed transmission that is barely better than decent SD, (like the BBC HD).

    The BBC HD I get is great, what's the issue with it?

    Yeah the BBC is ok on HD now. When they first started it was awful. I think they got a ton of complaints and had to improve.

    Any HD broadcast is compressed to a certain degree, but BBC HD is quite a bit more compressed than other channels.

    The BBC have admitted it, but claim viewers can't tell, even though they get a lot of complaints.
