ITV HD content would still not take any longer than the current HD content to transfer to the headends. Also, I suspect the VOD systems in the headends have considerably more bandwidth for transfers than 10, 20 or even 50 meg, so transfers would be considerably faster than they would for you or me.

Once ITV start releasing HD content on Virgin On Demand, I'd be surprised if it took any more than a couple of hours to transfer to all the headends.
