    Oh my god. I am only just reading the announcement about ITV2/3/4 HD now. In one way; I am absolutely gobsmacked that ITV are doing this move for FTA satellite viewers like myself. I am flipping delighted that ITV are going to provide these HD channels to their viewers for free on satellite from later today (Tuesday Nov 1st).

    Although I think this move from ITV does coincide with the impending launch of ITVX in the UK along with the refresh of their TV channels which is happening later this week.

    I heard that ITVX will launch today. And the refresh of the ITV channels, including the relaunch of ITV 1, will happen on Thursday.

    But other than that; I am just so happy to read this news this morning. When I read about it a few minutes ago for the first time; my jaws nearly dropped to the floor in stunned silence. I bet you guys probably did the same thing.

    Are we able to tune these in on a FTA box with frequency codes?

    Given that ITV is a part-owner of Freesat it'd be a bit daft if ITV2/3/4 HD didn't show up on the Freesat EPG fairly soon...

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    We have FTA access to VM 1, VM2 and TG4, although not on satellite. On Satellite the above channels are HD on the Sky basic package (no HD package needed)

    Hi Gerry,

    Just a quick question - I have a smart TV (LG brand) with a built in sat. receiver off dish. To get these ITV 2,3,& 4 HD channels do I have to re tune my TV or is there an easier way of doing it ? As you may have guessed I'm not exactly tech savvy !

    Thanks.

    They will very soon replace the SD versions on 113, 115 and 117. It could take days or weeks to launch

    The 3 HD channels were added to the Freesat Test region EPG earlier today

    I have the same set up. The hd channels are on it now.

    Yes rescan your satellite channels.

    ITV 2hd is channel 164 on my tv and the others up a little further.

    If you haven't already, add the channels u watch to favourites so they will be handier to find.

    I'm not seeing them on a sky+hd box.

    Edit: thought it meant they would be on the EPG, I guess not.

    Should the new ITV channels be on the EPG on a Sky+HD box with a sub or do they need to be manually tuned to Other Channels?

    Not on the Irish EPG anyway, VMTV would have an aneurysm.

    The new ITV channels will follow the same format as the old one with regards to EPG

    I wonder why its taking so long for BBC2 NI HD to get on the Sky & Freesat EPG's? Its been months now since it appeared on Astra 28e.

    ITV2/3/4 HD now on the Freesat EPG. I had to manually scan it just now as the automatic overnight 3am run didn't pick them up.

    That was quick! Still no sign of the Channel 4 HD regions or BBC 2 NI HD.

    Didn't appear automatically on either of my Foxsats, they must have appeared after the 3am auto-update window, but I manually scanned them in on one box. The HD versions replace the SD ones in the EPG, same as Channel 5. The other box should get them itself tonight at 3am.

    I notice now all my scheduled recordings have been deleted on the Foxsat after manually running the channel search. Not sure if that's going to happen to everyone or not, perhaps the auto scan overnight won't cause it to happen.

    Didn't happen to me, did you do Freesat tune, or a factory reset?

    Factory reset deletes everything except recordings.

    Yes just the Freesat tune. It happened last time the clocks went forward too, it's probably near end of life at this stage, 3 hard drives have gone in to it over the years.

    There are also new logos being displayed for ITV2/3/4 HD on the Freesat EPG since this morning.

    I also read from DS today that RTÉ One is currently being simulcast in HD on the Sky EPG in NI.

    Do C4 do regional stuff at all, what would be different, just the ads?

    Isn't bbc 2 ni on with a 1199 tag?
