“Nice picture but clunky to use”

★★★☆☆

written by on 10/06/2012

I have used HD for several months. I've never experienced the technical problems some other reviewers encountered but I do find the service a bit clunky. What I mean by this is that HD channels have to be specifically located and sometimes it's just easier not to bother. As an HD customer it would be great if the system defaulted to an HD broadcast if this is available. Instead it's often a case of seeing a prog to watch and then working through the channel list to see if it is being broadcast in HD. The BBC channel is a good example. The news is an HD broadcast but the moment it switches to local news you have to change to SD and then back again once the local news is finished. You have to be dedicated to keep switching between HD and SD and searching out the channels. Had I known all this beforehand I would have thought twice.
