Men and Motors has ceased to exist and has been replaced by a full time
ITV HD channel which simulcast everything on ITV1 to HD or upscaled SD.

Thank you all for responses.
So seems it might be an idea to continually watch 119, ok point on DOG
noted.
Just a thought I suppose this will give only one regions local news
program and adverts. , London?
Does the press red button still happen on 103 ? I will try of course to
check on one of the few HD programs they do.
I will check how SD programs compare, my Freesat TV does make SD programs
better anyway, so will be interesting how it handles an already upscaled
transmission.

The Freesat Web site program list still says Press Red Button.

They might do better saying 108 and 119.

It depends what you mean by HD. Everything is being transmitted and
received in HD (1080i). It's just that much of the source material will
upscaled from SD. Blurryvision (576i) convert Blurryvision (1080i).
Spot the difference, if you can!

the good thing is, the SD source they are using is their own super high
quality SD source that we never get to see - so there's no reason why even
the upscaled stuff will not look lots better than when we allow our
televisions to upscale the crappy ITV feed we get.

It definitely does look better.

No it hasn't!

I've just pressed it and switched to HD while tuned to ITV1 London (on
Freesat).

It does indeed. Looks rather like 'studio' SD pictures.
