Ive got it mate but i don't know if its much better than normal. The pictures slightly better
Wildlfe looks really good in HD & football, but to be honest I dont think its that fantastic, most of the time I forget to switch it on to the HD channels & just watch say 401 rather than 408 to be honest
dont trade off em though slower than normal pics
most over rated thing on the market
i have it and a 3.2k tv and its still chit

It all depends on the TV
Our last Plasma the difference between football on SS1 and SS1HD was around 30% better
With our new one there is a huge difference when switching between the two
Oh, and it was nowhere near '3.2k'!

Think it's worth it for certain sports - cricket looks particular detailed. For footie, I tend to trade, and HD signal is several seconds behind the standard channel/signal.
The wildlife/documentary channels are great, e.g. Nat.Geo and Discovery.
BBC HD doesn't seem as detailed as it did 18 months ago - have read that they've reduced the bit-rate?
I've added ITV HD as an extra channel, and it's nice to watch the footie in HD when I'm just watching the match for the fun of it.
Also, if you have decent surround sound amp and speakers then it's also worth it - Sky Sports+Sky Movies in Dolby Digital suround sound - sounds great!
So... in summary, worth it if you have reasonable TV (+ surround sound).
I bought a Panasonic 42" plasma 18 months ago and am very happy with it. Also went with What Hi-fi recommendations re: surround sound (Sony DA2400ES amp + KEF 2003.5 5.1 surround sound amp+subwoofer). Expensive (for my budget) so will have to last me 4-5 years+ :-)

Its good but not worth the extra tenner a month, will not renew when 12 months are up.
the boxes will at least be compatible with the 3D Channel in a few months
though maybe that will be overhyped too

Also recently saw that Sky's standard set-top box will be their HD one...
