Is wanting HD linked to a love of football

Who gives a funk about football?! I simply want better broadcast TV pictures!

 

Your poll is squed by the fact more men generally like football, & by where this poll is, a forum full of generally male gadget geeks ...
No offence intended of course!

No, it's linked to a love of rugby!

There's only one way to settle this...

FIGHT!

 

I don't give a rat's arse about football. In fact, sport in general leaves me cold.

 

Hate football, and most sport too unless it involves wheels and engines.
Women's sport is often watchable, but that's not due to the sport aspect

 

Not interested in football, but just ordered my TWD600 HD ready projector, mainly for films.

Was prompted to go for this mainly by the fantastic Planet Earth footage last Sunday.

 

Better if there had been options that ended "and I detest football"!!

 

I want/have it for films, drama, documentaries, etc. In fact I'm looking forward to all the Sky HD offerings apart from the Sport!

 

Agreed totally!!! - High Def Rugby would ROCK!


Although Tivo is extremely handy for watching football. Without Tivo I probably wouldn't bother watching much, but with it I can watch a whole game (most of it on a fast-forward setting while the players roll around on the ground and pretend to be hurt!) in about 20 minutes! - So I start watching a game when it's actually in it's second half and finish watching the last few minutes live!

 

I watch a lot of football, almost all of it at the pub. Quality of image varies in the pub, depending on what telly it's on, what sort of service it's coming through, and so on, but it doesn't really matter.
I don't see much point in recording a football match.

 

I usually find that my general image quality varies quite a lot in the pub. An early afternoon kick off can be quite sharp but by full time I'm generally noticing some lip synch issue with my fellow patrons and some blurring around the edges.

Football in the pub is best - but kids mean I often have to watch at home - and I only watch internationals and cups so I'm not 'really' a fan. At least with Tivo I can rewind to see if that really was a dive, how good the ref's glasses should be next time he gets a prescription and of course - hold that play while I get another beer.

Oh, bad luck. Still, how much longer until they go to the pub to watch it as well?

 

She's 2 1/2 so I guess... about 3 world cups?

 

Doesn't sound like she's old enough to pay much attention to the game - does she actually watch them with you?

 

I take my 3 year old down the pub on match days. He loves it!

 

Is that legal now, since the law changes on opening hours?

 

it looks like sanderton lives in a part of the world where licencing laws are usually based on the number of local plods that are in the bar at that time.

stuart, if you live in one of the more cosmopolitan parts of the west country I apologise. I'm applying very north of Scotland licencing "laws" logic here
