I set mine in the options to default to flashhigh then fall back to the lower modes many moons ago. To be honest, I can't actually see any difference between SD and HD even on my 32" TV, so downloading in HD just takes longer and uses more disk space as far as I am concerned. Regards John ------------------------------ As others have noted, I find HD noticeably superior to SD on my 42 inch Panasonic Viera which is a somewhat unusual TV in that it has built in Freesat and Freeview. Subjectively, I have felt that the Freesat image is better than the Freeview but most probably all in my mind. Certainly the smaller the TV, the less noticeable is the difference between HD and SD in my experience. I use the PVR interface and have set the default to "Best". I use the PVR interface almost exclusively as, to be quite frank, it seems to do everything I want so thanks to all the good folks who maintain the excellent software. To stray into another subject, I find the BBC Radio 3 downloads in AAC format are excellent and only convert to a lower quality mp3 if I want to copy to my smart(ish) phone.
