High def on your high def tele when you don't have high-def boxes

Posted on February 5, 2008 | Post a comment |

I don't have a high-def Sky box. They cost £250 or something and you have to subscribe to Sky's high-def service which cost £10 extra a month, last I looked.

I don't have a Blu-Ray player. They're at least £250 still and I'm not wasting my money on the ever-so-dead-but-doesn't-realise-it-yet HD-DVD format.

But I have a high-def tele.

That's not good, is it? So how can I get a high-def picture on my existing content?

Okay, it's not quite fully high-def, but since my AppleTV produces a high-def picture, if I record stuff with my PVR and export it in top quality to my Apple TV, it turns out to be a lot better than the quality from my regular Sky box.

Just thought I'd share that with you.
