All our recordings stopped on SkyQ for ITVHD.

However, Sky customers may need to check their planned recordings. I am told that these will need to be changed manually.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
Somethings going on. TS streams and total services figures have changed quite dramatically.
I can't recall previous figures. I know it's changed though.
TS streams has actually dropped I know that much now 33. Was it 47 previously? That at least seems like something I recall.

VM took some mothballed transport streams out of the config the other day according to JJ20X on Forum Box, so I'd say it's fairly likely to be this piece of housekeeping that you're noticing.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
ITV itself has no indicator as to whether it is HD or not - just the same ITV logo on both versions.
You should easily be able to tell by comparing 103 and 113.
The EPG does mark HD.

A Series Link+ will record the HD version of ITV (or the version which starts first) whereever it goes.

I had a couple of manual recordings set for ITV-HD that I wasn't entirely convinced had carried across - so deleting and resetting them seemed the safe option.
I'd agree with SL though. Seamless.

It's often found that those who get glasses for the first time didn't realise that everyone didn't see like them until they see better is possible. Maybe they need their eyes checked?

My area of North Hampshire does indicate ITVHD on 103, and ITV on 113 but my secondary region of ITV on 870 is now HD (from Meridian Southampton) does not yet indicate HD (as of yesterday)

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
..... and I will just add that although 870 is now itv HD it still comes up with the "Press Blue to watch in HD" banner. If I press Blue it jumps to 103. Needs fixing!

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2020)
Apparently ViacomCBS is to "shutter niche streaming services" to concentrate on Paramount+, and on the list is US service MTV Hits.
My point, this may be why after the My5 and Pluto TV apps arrived on VM, we haven't got promised MTV one yet.

Let’s hope it’s not more cheap American comedy, MB.
