HDMI cable it digital, either works or it doesn't work. Get the cheapest ones you can. I've had two fail and they were both the more expensive ones that the shop were selling for £15 a cable but threw them in with the TV. My other cables which I have bought for £2-3 are working great.
yeah this what i thought, they cost about 3 quid i think.... the old 32" didnt show it up as bad but this one is a tad bigger so its more noticable. the following seems quite bad compared to other ones .. lots of darked rooms and stuff in it.. so looks pixelated... that revolution ive got at 1080 ..about 1.7 gb per ep 8O

720 are about 1.3 but they are progressive so the whole frame reloads whereas the 1080 ones are interlaced (unless they are shown as 1080p, don't think many are unless they are web-rips) which means only half the frame updates at any given time.

So theoretically 720p should look as good or about as good as the 1080i.

I don't think there is really a large noticeable difference between then with the "small" encodes. If you were to download one of the high bit-rate ones (~3-4GB an episode) then you'll see the quality.

Yep big files. Never actually watched one of them though, think they are too big and when I get home I want the download to be finished by the time I have my dinner.

You will notice the quality difference between that and one of the regular 720p ones.

WebDL ones are generally slightly better quality and don't have pop-up ads half way through although not all shows are available through web streaming.

Yeah a lot of new characters are getting introduced. Some are the same as the book, some are a bit different.

The bit with Theon Greyjoy will be interesting as I don't remember them doing a lot of his storyline last season.

Acting is poor from most of them and the story is a bit far fetched and it doesn't get any more sane.

I love this show but I struggle like a cunt trying to remember all the dodgy names..
I tend to know people by the following names

Joffrey
Joffrey's bitch mum
Khaleesi
Ned's young kids
Ned's stupid cunt daughter
Arya Stark
The Imp and so on.

I'm glad I deleted Revolution the acting was crap and the story was just slow as from what I saw in the first 3 or 4 eps.
