Switch to HD

Hello

This has probably been discussed before, but can VM not have an option for Tivo (or any box) to either automatically jump to the HD version or have an option to "press green for HD version"

If you go to 101 on Sky, it automatically comes up with the HD channel. Even my Freeview box does this for BBC1.

Re: Switch to HD

Sky do it for channels that are the same in HD and SD, but BBC1 isn't one of them as it is regionalised. Freeview has the HD version on 101, but the SD version on 1.

To answer your original question, there's no technical reason why VM couldn't do it, but it's not top of the "to do" list.
