not read the cyclists numbers as they rode towards the camera motorbike.

I know some of you can check such things so was it the ITV4 bit rate
being very low or was it perhaps the feed they were getting?

I presume Sky gets the same feed so is the satellite picture crystal clear?

If you mean ITV4 'on Sky' then it looks slightly better than DTT but
still very poor. ITV's uplinking for satellite has nothing to do with
Sky, they are simply carried on the EPG. Arqiva provide ITV's uplinks to
Astra, based upon the 'budget' ITV give them.

I don't know whether the host feed from FR2/3 is HD, I suspect it is,
and is it being carried on Eurosport HD ? If so, I hope it looks good
on there !
