thanks useful information
ITV HD now available on Sky HD
If you have had the new EPG downloaded you can now get ITV HD through the 'add channels' option.
Here's a link which explains how to do it.
Telly Toad - ITV HD on Sky HD
Don't expect to see much though, most of the time it broadcasts a 'service unavailable' caption, but comes alive when they're showing an HD programme.
The next few programmes are:-
Tonight 22.45 - Scent of a Woman
Thursday at 22.35 - Van Helsing
Friday at 21.00 - Boy Meets Girl
22.35 - Red Heat
Sunday at 21.00 - Martin Clunes Islands of Britain
As it's an 'other channel' you can't record/pause etc. so you need to watch the programme live.

Is the EPG download automatic? We only had HD installed last month and we are still on the old system ! :roll:
Yes. All the Thomsons are now done - apart from a few stragglers - Pace, Samsung and Amstrad will be done in the next few weeks.Waleem said:Is the EPG download automatic? We only had HD installed last month and we are still on the old system ! :roll:
Make sure you keep your box plugged in overnight, it's OK in standby mode.
Although it's not a red button service like freesat, will it be just as tedious. Until the broadcasters offer either a full time HD transmission or automatic switching by way of setting a preference HD will not become as popular as it should. And the BBC idea of showing the HD programme at a different time from the SD version is insane.

Which is why the Sky channels and Channel 4 HD work so well. And if they're not showing an HD programme the picture quality is still so much better than the standard definition versions.GerryD said:Although it's not a red button service like freesat, will it be just as tedious.

However, the BBC are showing HD content from six different channels on one channel, so scheduling must be a nightmare.
With ITV at last broadcasting a popular programme in HD from tonight, The Bill, I thought I'd bump this thread for those who may not have seen it before.
BTW people are selling these instructions on Ebay. Here they are for free!!
