Has anyone noticed the excellent picture quality on standard resolution mainstream Freeview channels. I have noticed the lack of smearing and picture noise and don't feel the need to retune to the HD channels. Well done Freeview.
I believe there has been technical improvements with the service over its introduction. It of course depends upon where you live and reception conditions. I receive my signal from Crystal Palace, London with 100% signal quality and signal strength. My wife is not fussed about watching HD as I am but I have noticed that the improvement in picture quality is not as such a step change as it was.You would have got on well with my Mum.
I always used to tell her to go with the HD over the SD option.
Her response was "As long as I can see it, it's good enough for me".
And then there are those who genuinely can't tell the difference
