John, I find that incredible and very strange. For me, the difference is very noticeable and greatly enhances the viewing experience. The HD offered by the BBC is 1280x720 = 921,600 pixels, and high SD is 832x468.= 389,376 pixels. The HD resolution is more than double high SD, so I feel the extra disk space consumed is worth every byte. I choose HD every time, without exception, using --modes=best. But sadly not everything is available in HD. How are you getting the data to your 32" television? The best options for HD would be a USB port or an HDMI socket. Perhaps you are reducing everything to a common (low) denominator in your choice of television input?
