    I haven't seen the HD picture, but isn't it the sunny conditions and the glare from the pitch that make the picture poor?

    Yes the sun didnt help but it wasnt a good feed to begin with ,from comparing to another HD feed I saw.
    Picture on BT for Utd match was very poor too in comparison to foreign feed.
    It almost looked upscaled sd at times.

    It's poor when HD is wrapped up with advertising and naming of a channel only to be good standard def signal.

    Setanta feed for the 3pm yesterday was the best HD feed I've came across on satellite for some time.

    Studio looked tripe though.

    I thought it was an excellent picture too... to my eye it was as good as any other channel... strange that some are saying it was poor.

    Once I get the Premier League in HD I'm happy - don't get me wrong though, more HD would be very welcomed :)

    Will they be using 3 commentators and the ref analysis nonsense for the champions league?

    The ref analysis is a great idea I thought? It'll be good to get the views of one of the best ever refs when we see some crazy decisions.

    That is the million dollar question, deal was done nearly a week ago, problem is apparently at UPC's end now. Didn't stop them putting up the price immediately though.

    When we do get it, will we have the chance to use the interactive button to be able to pick which game we want to watch?

    Howard Webb's milquetoast analysis is not needed in the middle of a game, nor are three commentators, the back of Paul Scholes' head in PiP or moving the score to the bottom of the screen.

    Didn't realise he was giving analysis mid game? Would be great to have him as a pundit for post game though.

    A screen pops up so you can even see him while he waffles on during the game:o

    I thought they tried that referee analysis nonsense before and were inundated with complaints? Why would they do it again?

    Plenty of complaints yesterday so hopefully its dropped. They just need to broadcast the games they paid for without gimmicks.

    Setanta HD picture quality has been very good since it launched but that match yesterday was not good.
    Setanta HD is an excellent addition .

    Baffling how you can say its the best HD feed you have seen in some time ,it was sun drenched ,and completely washed out .
    There was very little detail even in close up shots.

    There were alot of complaints online yesterday about the poor picture on BT for the Utd match btw.

    Watched both games and they were superb. Samsung TV I have was a months wages and on both channels was superb yesterday.

    Had NBC Live Sports Extra on today and wasn't the same, just a little better than Setanta SD.

    Only UPC know the answer for certain. But they never offered that option when Sky had the rights.
