Show me the HD

Filed under: Tech — tim CARMICHAEL @ 3:10 pm

So, I’ve got my FreeSat HD receiver, now where’s the content ?  I thought the bare minimum after the ITV HD launch would be F1 HD feeds, but no, not even for the British GP.  A lost opportunity.

In general the HD deployment in the UK is a complete mess.  On FreeSat, you get BBC HD and ITV HD (if available) but not Channel 4 HD.  If you have Sky HD, you get BBC and Channel 4 HD but not ITV HD.  Unfortunately its seems FreeSat has failed to deliver on its promise even though its already 2 years late.
