The excuse given is "Customers in Scotland and Northern Ireland won’t receive ITV 1 HD, as STV and UTV don’t give access to branded services from ITV 1", but we can already get ITV1 on channel 853, so what's the problem?
We have to wait for STV to go HD - that'll be never!
I'm surprised I haven't read any comments about this on this forum.
How can we get this sorted - after all, this is probably one of the most important channels - let's face it, BBC HD is only part time and chooses to carry random programmes not all of which benefit from HD presentation.

Is there no way for Virgin Customers in NI or Scotland to access ITVHD in the same way Sky and freesat customers in NI and Scotland can?
