ITV HD
 

I have just been told that Sky have now worked out a way for their customers
to watch ITV HD, and will be sending out information.
(ITV has always been receivable, but it is flagged with an incorrect video
PID that stopped boxes tuning to it properly. PC's with sat tuners have been
able to watch / record ITV HD since it started - software permitting)

ITV HD has been accessible for a few weeks on the Sky platform. You need to
have the new EPG though in order to manually add the channel. Only approx
38k digiboxes have had the new EPG update, the rest will be rolled out in
the coming weeks / months.

I have watched ITV HD on Freesat, it's hard to see the difference
between that and normal programs. The programmers that are in HD are
very few and far between, only 2 or three this week.

What are you going to watch on ITV1 in HD?
I have Freesat and can already get it, they do if you are lucky 2
programmes per week!
We have to press a Blue button on the rare programme we watch is in HD, we
do not bother actually.

No !! Programs run on computers, it's programmes that you watch on your TV set.

Lean pickings and not a mention of DD5.1.

Even BBC HD is rather short on programmes with DD5.1. How sad!

With ITV running out of money it might be a finish!

Soner or later someone in the company will ask "How much are we paying
for a channel we hardly use? How much extra advertising revenue does it
bring in? Is it cost-effective?

Perhaps they should transmit cunningly upscaled SD material on their HD
channel.

Because ITV HD is a red-button service the programmes are unrecordable.
This must surely reduce the number of potential viewers.

Not true -- ITV HD can be recorded on a PC with a DVB-s card.

Fairly sure the Billy Connelly programme featuring him travelling in
Canada recorded Ok in HD from the EPG on my Humax a few weeks back,it
offered the option of HD or SD when the programme was first
highlighted for recording .

Sorry. My mistake.

The confused viewer needs to remember, in my case, to look at ITV1
London in the epg rather than my usual UTV.

Will have to find something else on ITV HD worth recording and check
that I was not imagining things.

I don't have to press any 'red button' to watch ITV HD on my satellite
receiver, and can record it like any other service from that receiver. Not
that I've bothered to.

I'm using satellite and have to press a button to move off (Yorkshire area)
SD to (Granada) HD.

What type of satellite receiver are you using? I have a Freesat box:
Humax Foxsat HDR.

In Freesat mode this has only one HD channel in the EPG table and
channel list - BBC HD. ITV HD is not listed as a selectable channel. To
watch ITV HD I have to select ITV1 London rather than than UTV, the
normal channel for my postcode. When a programme in HD starts I need to
press the red button to switch from SD to HD.

To record a programme from ITV HD I need, again, to select ITV1 London
in the EPG, move the highlighting to the programme I want to record and
press OK. I am then given the choice to record in SD or HD. The only
indication that an ITV programme is available in HD is at the top of the
EPG screen when an HD programme is highlighted.

If I switch the box to non-Freesat mode additional HD channels are
listed, some scrambled. ITV HD is not in the list.

In another thread someone gave some technical information about why the
channel carrying ITV HD is not listable as a normal channel.
