morally dubious perhaps - but in the absence of alternatives what choice is
there ?

What's a giganews account? (a more expensive monthly subscription to
ntl broadband no doubt - what £30pm?)
I've only got a mac with 80GB hard drive - whats the best way/place/
free software to download films from and rip to disk ( a whole new
discussion I guess + one thats probably illegal - I'll blame you guys
for corrupting me).

Also whats 'Full HD' as compared to 'HD Ready'? If your TV is HD ready
and for example you connect a £400 HD DVD to it (or your Sky box),
press play do you get an the full HD experience?
I'm relatively new to this so please bear with me - the more I look
into it the more complicated (and expensive it gets).

Full HD 1920x1080
HD ready 1366x768 (though there are variations on this which purport
to be HD ready
