Sky+ HD

[rosnarun]

did you get the upgraded software . it seems to be a low slower in changing channels than eirher the old sky + hd or the regular sky + . I hav both so the feed seems to be ok 

[David McKeown]

The problem I have with Sky HD is that because of bandwidth issues its only available in 1080i which isnt true HD, consequently I am requiring either my av receiver or tv to upscale.  That said I do like the fact that there is a big audio improvement on most HD shows, provided you connect to your sky box using an optical cable and can therefore get Dolby Digital.

Anyone south of the border noticed if their ITV1 HD has disappeared from "other channels"? Went to watch something on it at the weekend and it'd gone. Fancied watching the footie on it tonight.

Hmm, thought they'd blocked it in the south or something and if you manually input the codes again does it come back on??

ITV HD isn't available in Ireland (north and south) and Scotland. No, it doesn't come back on, or at least it didn't for me.

Strange that it did work for so long and then stopped??? Will try and manually tune it tonight and see what happens.

ITV HD wasn't officially available on Sky+ HD until recently. Once it was official, they were able to block it.

ITV HD is available in the north, you just have to tune the frequency in yourself.  Problem is that you can only watch the channel in real time and also you cannot record or view the listings for whats on currently or whats on next.  Scotland, Northern Ireland and Channel Islands can not receive ITV1 HD  because the regional broadcaster decided not to take up ITV's HD offering.

As for quality of Sky HD, there is some difference in the quality but this is dependent on your TV.  I have saw Sky HD on a normal 42 Inch HD Ready Plasma (720) and the quality is nothing special, whereas on my 42 Inch Full HD Plasma (1080p) the quality is unreal.

What make & model is your Full HD? Probably down to an excellent upscaler.

Anyone know how to get ITV HD on FreeSat?

Looks like HD will be made redundant in the not too distant future. Sky due to bring out their 3D tv in the coming months!!
