Is this ITV2 in HD or a new ITV channel in HD?

ITV 2 in HD. Launches tomorrow. Is a pay channel so only those with a UK sub will be able to receive. Won't work on ROI subscription cards.

29500 how do you get this into the box?

denis1501

Unfortunately you can't, I'm not using a Sky HD box, I'm using a VU+ Duo.

That's interesting. Channels such as this are usually blocked, like Channel 4 HD or 5HD

Will they switch from 29500 when they transmit on a regular basis and the SKY HD box will receive the channel as per ITV 1?

I thought it launched last night at 8pm... [in the UK]. Another service / channel Sky Ireland customers are subsidising (€15/month HD pack!) but not receiving.

It's Tv3 that's blocking it being put on the EPG, we should all bycot this rubbish channel. But a fair point about us paying the HD sub, I never thought of it like that.

i have an Irish card and a UK FSFS card and ITV2 HD clears on my irish card but not on the uk card... should the UK card clear it?

No, you need an active HD sub on the card to receive it.

Interesting if ITV are making this a subcription channel like E4 HD rather than an FTV channel like Five HD and Ch4 HD. Big departure considering they are fully FTA on all their channels.

ITV3 HD, and ITV4HD going live soon as well as Sky exclusives. According to Adam Crozier "the numbers add up". I saw a very interesting interview recently where he said he could envisage a situation whereby ITV's topline shows, like Coronation Street, might premiere on one of their suite of HD subscription channels and then appear on the free to air version the next night.

It's an interesting strategy as for existing Coronation Street viewers it means little change but it gives ITV huge leverage with live shows like X Factor - no one is going to do a "Likely Lads" on a national event like that.

I would be surprised to see this happen especially with the likes of the X Factor. ITV make a fortune from text voting. They will not sacrifice that income. It would be madness for them to do so especially when it will be a handful who would benefit. The only winners in such a scenario would be Sky and Virgin Media.

These media companies need to realise that not everyone has HD, wants HD or even have the equipment to watch HD.

It's all to do with money. ITV want part of that huge £10/€15 per month HD subscription pot. Sky want exclusives. Everybody in TV land is happy... except for the poor end user!

Sorry sorry sorry,this was the law of unintended consequences entering.
I was replying to my own post ,not the one above.(8 posts before)
I asked what appeared to me to be such a silly question that no one even
acknowledged it.
Just to check,I then switched the HD box on and low,there was ITV 2 HD,to my surprise,and the question was answered.(N.I. card).
Its odd the broadcaster does'nt flag up a new service ,new to HD that is.
I'm sure they may do,I just don't know where to find it,but that begs the question,should I have to search?
Sorry again,didn't intend any offence,will be more careful in future,and less Witty?"

itv2hd no longer clearing on an Irish subscription card. Nothing to do with your dreambox. Sky obviously spotted their error when setting up ITV3 AND 4HD. ITV3 and 4HD stopped clearing on Irish sub about a week ago. Good while it lasted....

Pisses me off no end, how the feck can they say it's anything to do with broadcast rights when they simucast the SD channels in the clear!

Yep, tried debugging the CAM log too and there is nothing wrong with the setup. It must be as posted above, but howcome you are clearing it, do you have a UK sub?

I've got two ITV1 HDs for some reason..

One is 11428h (Signal 73%, Quality 50%).. There is no EPG info so I searched for another..

the other is 10936v (Astra 2d I think) (Signal 78%, Quality 98%)..

First - I thought ITV was putting all of its services on 2D to limit continental reception and second, why the duplication with one not having EPG data??

Complain to Sky, or better yet - cancel. It's the only thing they understand.

cartman51773

your prob right. did that already and they offered me loads of free stuff to stay. like sky sports and movies for 6 months and 25% off my bill.
