At last another free HD channel, no more red button, simulcast with SD material being upscaled :tu: Well done ITV, just need C4 to hop on board.

Channel 119 on your freesat receivers. (Sky & VM as well)

Is this going to still be a part time channel?

No. It's an HD simulcast of ITV1. Some content will be native HD, while SD content will be upscaled. [Same as C4 HD]

The SD up-scaled looks great, I remember watching a film via the "other channels" section on Sky+HD and it started going into the news before putting the screen up saying not available and it looked quite good :)

Going to be channel 178 on Sky.

Bout time, their HD output has been shocking, no surprise Sky wasn't bothering to carry the HD channel till now.
