Default Tour de France - ITV4 or feed bitrates?

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


Isn't Sky carrying this directly on their own channels? I would have
thought so since they're sponsoring a team.
