ITVHD? The only time i watched it was for the england game, lets just say I
have seen youtube footage with a higher resolution. I dont watch ITV for
free, never mind pay for the rot. Utterly laughable.

That's me included,I only watch ITV4 for all the old ITC programmes
(The Saint,The Prisoner & Randall & Hopkirk) and they would not
improve much on HD.




if they have looked after the negatives and remaster them from the
35mm film they were shot on, they could look fantastic.

could.


where they all done on film??

we have an hd box and a normal box. the hd is in our son's room and I
have had a quick peep, just to see what the fuss is about. I can't say
I am impressed

As I said before only if the colour as not faded and the film been stored so
as not to fall apart.
Was at a recent film festival and hearing from an expert cinema film
restorer how the films in Hollywood studios from the 50's 60's are in a real
mess some almost on the verge of not being able to be resorted. Because of
its American historical value The Alamo has been restored digitally and is
superb when now shown but it costs lots of money.

David

Total ********.





given that youtube can do 1080p he's actually right in terms of resolution.
of course bitrate plays a big part in picture quality - not just resolution.

Poor bitrate, poor resolution and really bad production (lets go to the
adverts on a throwing and miss the first goal).
