JackAxe - lol! I thought they were talking about Hard Disks as well until I read the whole thread!
I don't care so much about HighDef - I don't know a single person in the UK that has a TV that can even do HighDef.
The US market is definitely bigger for that kinda stuff, but outside the US, the takeup of HighDef seems very slow. Heck, I don't think we even get HighDef signals here!
