Sci Fi HD becomes Syfy HD and premieres V on UK TV
I'm not a big fan of the channel and don't have the HD version yet, but for both SD and HD viewers the big budget remake of V debuts tonight on SyFy HD at 10pm tonight with a double-episode.
@OLU If you are on the Lewisham head end (which is the same as me) then you are looking at mid-May before we get SyFy, Discovery, Eurosport and E4 HD services.
The new V is utterly dreadful- I saw it when it first aired in the US 6 months ago. Really terrible pacing, completely destroys all the tension of the original. Poor casting too and lots of heavy handed religious rubbish in there.
As for Sci-Fi HD, well that would be nice wouldn't it. Virgin, are you listening?
I'm with TVserity about V. What a steaming pile of youknowwhat. It's no wonder it's sinking like a rock in the US ratings.
Human Target was a little bit better, but not much. Both looked OK in HD, but the over-use of CGI sets and backgrounds didn't really do either one any favors.

Actually I thought V was pretty good, especially in HD :)
Don't really watch Syfy much but it seem pretty good with a half decent amount of HD programmes.

Is anyone else having a dodgy echo problem with SyFy HD?
