ITV on Freesat - no HD football

    I am watching the Man U v Rangers game on a Panasonic Plasma with an inbuilt freesat tuner. The channel number is 977. Normally I am prompted to hit the red button for the HD feed. This hasn't happened tonight, or the last time I watched a game for that matter.

    Are they not offering it in HD or is something else up?

    Many thanks.

    not sure on your situation,

    Can you add the frequency manually to the panny?




    10832H
    22000
    5/6

    or
    10.936 V 22000 5/6 for STVHD

    Maybe they didn't offer it in HD for us then? Did anyone else watch it in HD on freesat?

    ITV 1 HD is channel number 119 on Freesat. What postcode are you using?

    Using a Belfast postcode from the beginning. Worked great until this issue. I have always accessed ITV from channel 977.

    I suggest you use a london postcode. Red button feature turned off about a month ago..The match was in HD on ITV1 HD last night.

    I watched the Champions League match on ITV1 HD, channel 119. Maybe they're phasing out the red button HD option now they have a dedicated HD channel? Could also just be a once off mistake..

    The Red Button hasn't been available now on ITV1 on channel 977 now for a number of weeks. People on the forums over on Digital Spy have been reporting the same thing.
