Freeview picture quality was nothing short of amazing. We generally expect a total mess on inch TVs because Freeview is really targeted at smaller, mainly CRT TVs where an interlaced, highly compressed picture is no problem.

Blu-ray looked just as good. Our much-used Casino Royale disc got yet another outing, and we were thrilled to see that the quality was as high as ever, with loads of moody grain in the opening scene, which is in stark contrast with the bright and bold animated title sequence.
