The ITV1 bitrate on Virgin is actually higher than that on satellite, so that's odd if you're seeing it as being bad. I'm currently watching the West Ham v Arsenal game and the PQ is very good, but I was less impressed with the earlier picture from Old Trafford.

How does it compare with the Freeview version of ITV1? I know quite a few Sky folk who choose to watch ITV1 on Freeview as the Sky version is particularly bad, but I've not heard of anyone who thought ITV1 was better on Sky.
