Sky now has 54 high definition channels in the UK, and a full roster of HD content from ITV
www.whathifi.comHere’s the latest I can provide about ITV4 HD based on recent public information.
- ITV4 HD has been available as a high-definition simulcast of ITV4 since 2010, with the HD version launched on Sky and later rolled out to other platforms like Virgin Media; it is free-to-air on some services as part of broader ITV HD strategies.[3][4]
- Since late 2022, ITV4 HD encryption was dropped on some platforms, making the channel free-to-air on those services, and Freesat began carrying ITV4 HD in HD on channel 117, with Virgin Media re-EPG positioning in early 2023.[4][3]
- Current typical content on ITV4 HD includes sports (e.g., British Touring Car Championship, Tour de France coverage, darts, horse racing) and related ITV Sport archive programming, with continual scheduling updates via TV guides for daily listings.[3][4]
If you want, I can pull the very latest scheduling for today or a specific date from a TV guide site and summarize what’s on ITV4 HD now. I can also provide a quick comparison of where ITV4 HD is available in the US/UK and any recent channel-number changes, with sources.
