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.

I used to be uncertain on principle but now I am just undecided.

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.

FREESAT HD as it is now it is a joke.

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

Except on ITV and all the other crappy channels, where it's spelt "****e".

Lean pickings and not a mention of DD5.1.

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