Good news for Sky and Virgin HD customers – ITV appears to have bowed to pressure and agreed to let their HD service be shown on the pay platforms.
ITV 1 HD is currently available on Freesat (via the red button), and to the lucky few who can get Freeview HD, but from the 2nd of April, ITV 1 HD will be available as a dedicated channel on Sky and Virgin. It also looks likely that ITV 1 will be come its own channel on Freesat, and not hidden behind the red button.
The move means that ITV’s HD coverage of the World Cup will now be available to a greater HD audience.

Film4 and E4, two of Channel 4’s digital services, will shortly be going “HD” – but only for Virgin Media customers.
The two channelsd will be launching exclusively on the Virgin cable TV platform – doubtless a disappointment to Sky HD customers and those hoping for some much needed HD content on Freesat.
E4 HD is set to launch in April at no extra cost to Virgin Media TV users, with Film4’s HD service set to start in the Summer.
