Personally Graham, I've always struggled to understand the relevance for VR and indeed 3D and even HD too in the realms of mainstream TV viewing.


I can understand the appeal for sports and big blockbuster movies etc but mainstream TV? As I said to a friend who was debating whether or not to pay for a TV subscription so she could watch the HD channels, Eastenders is still Eastenders, you'll just be able to see those scowl and frown lines much clearer... And would your experience of watching Strictly Come Dancing, The X Factor, The Voice, TOWIE, Made in Chelsea, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks, Coronation Street, be any more enhanced by watching in HD, 3D or VR? ( I hasten to add none of these programmes are marked on my EPG as a 'must watch'... ).  In fact my TV consumption figure must be well below the average as I very rarely watch it. 


Unless the broadcast channels start showing some really top notch programmes that I want to watch then I don't see the point of having a HD or 3D TV or VR either!


However, I must say the run of Scandinavian Police Dramas on BB4 this year has been particularly good!  But then again, I don't think my enjoyment of them would have been enhanced in any way if I'd been watching in HD, 3D or VR...
