Latest News: ITV HD: Available on Freesat Now


ITV HD brings you Euro 2008 in stunning high definition.



With an incredibly sharp picture, rich, saturated colours and more detail then ever before, it’s the closest you’ll get to the match – without being there.

ITV HD is a red-button service available exclusively to freesat customers, and every Euro 2008 game on ITV1 is available in HD.

So whenever you’re watching a match, an ITV HD logo will pop up at the top of your screen - to watch it in glorious High Definition just press the red button on your remote control.

And it’s not just the picture that will benefit – in future many shows, events and movies will be broadcast in stunning surround sound.

But how can you get ITV HD? Is having an HD-ready TV enough? And where does freesat fit in? All these questions, and more, are answered by ITV Sport’s Craig Doyle in his quick guide to HD, along with our more detailed Q&A with freesat’s James Atkins.

HD High Definition vs SD Standard DefinitionHD High Definition vs SD Standard Definition
HD vs SD A TV picture is made up of tiny dots called pixels.

A standard definition (SD) TV programme is made up of pixels. SD TVs were all designed with a similar number of pixels to show the programmes in the best quality.

So, because TV programmes have - until recently - been available in standard definition, your large screen, HD Ready TV picture has actually been ‘stretched’ to fit the screen losing some of the quality.

With freesat, some programmes are broadcast in HD which means they’ll fit perfectly on your new TV giving you deeper, richer, more vivid colours. And many programmes are available with stunning surround sound. Overall, HD on freesat gives you an unforgettable TV experience.
