Prime on freeview looks worse than anything else SD on there with the exception of the junk channels. No change today when I had a quick look earlier other than a new logo.

lchiu7: I thought OTA Freeview on UHF used H.264.

 

 

 

It does.  Satellite FV is still Mpeg2

Don't hold your breath.,  Remember how long it took this to put the EPG on to the TiVo.

HD on SKY, encrypted satellite service.

 

Freeview - Unknown, don't expect it anytime soon though.

It appears to be HD on Vodafone cable which I guess is to be expected. A/B comparisons with Freeview are quite revealng.
