ITV and HD, have they stopped?

Or is it my new Panasonic Freesat TV set?
I understand they do not do a separate channel as the BBC do 108 HD, but
some ITV programmes might be in HD at same time as SD on 103. ITV web site
not very helpful, could not find any indication in Radio Times, I understand
I have to press Red button but how do I know when to?

A 'Press Red' for HD DOG will appear on Ch 103, if the programme is available
in HD. Pressing red, should (though here in ITV Thames Valley land it doesn't
always work) take you to the ITV HD channel.

However in the STV and UTV regions you need to be watching ITV London on Ch
973 I think.

With ITV it's guess work.

I don't have FreeSat so access ITV HD via a channel number - same as BBC
HD. And there's very little on there - usually either a black screen or a
caption saying 'this service not available' So nothing like the BBC HD
service. It does work though - I watched The Bill HD episodes on it.
Think they were trailing something coming up this weekend the other day.

It is if you want to watch the programmes, as listed on that page, in HD.

There are also a number of high definition channels available on a
subscription basis, notably sports and films.

Gosh why did I bother getting an Freesat TV set.
Its just history repeating itself, its like when TV first started with the
BBC only in b+w and 405 lines.

Yes I know that . So when are the available FTA and FTV channels going
to get their HD act together?..

The BBC HD channel is all the BBC Trust and the Dept of Culture & Sport will
allow at the moment. ITV HD seems about all that ITV can afford to do, C4 HD
seems to be slowly increasing the amount of genuine HD programming it's
showing. Only C5 show no interest in HD yet.

However, considering the large amount of HD production equipment now available
(notably loads of HD OB trucks in the UK) there is still a big shortage of HD
material to fill up the channels with.
