| Re: Freesat on SKY HD Why not ITV HD? What stops that from working as whats to say it want happen to other HD Channels. I like the idea of supporting freeview HD but not if I can save on the costs of the hardware and get sky. |

 | Re: Freesat on SKY HD I think it is contractual rather than a technical problem - I guess ITV is firmly finding itself in the Freesat camp, and as such Sky cannot broadcast it through their HD system.  ʎɐqǝ uo pɹɐoqʎǝʞ ɐ ʎnq ı ǝɯıʇ ʇsɐן ǝɥʇ sı sıɥʇ. |

ITV HD is not a channel, it's a data stream - like all those red button services you get on Freeview. Sky's interactive service isn't remotely as powerful as Freeview/Freesat's, so it can't switch streams the way ITV HD requires. This blockage was intentional, to make it Freesat-only   |

| Re: Freesat on SKY HD
 Now have a brand-new box, which means it may be a while before I have ITV HD. |

| Re: Freesat on SKY HD Unless the rules have changed recently, I think you'll find that you won't be able to use the recording functions of an HD (or Sky+) box unless you have a subscription. |
