Oops, sorry, the pic quality did look slightly better when I switched over but then it's hard to compare when you don't have the same picture side by side...
However many posters have said that STV HD has better resolution for high-speed movement, but I'm no technician

Ofcourse you can tell when the goal is going to be scored. Just listen to 5 live. The radio was reporting the goal BEFORE the coverage was interupted on ITV. Easy to hear that England have scored and then press the "Play adverts now" button

What you watch is not live its delayed. Have you not realised you never get a time check or a clock display on TV anymore. Try comparing an analogue TV broadcast to a digital terrestrial broadcast we have at least 5 sec delay! More for satellite!
How can you say it's someone's fault without knowing any of the details behind the scenes?
It could well be that the automation system is set to play in an ad break if it detects a loss of signal. Which it probably was as the match came back in SD only, no HD. It looks like they've got a problem with the HD circuits from South Africa.

He/She is probably a Scotland fan.

They will need that for the police protection judging by the anger on here.

Just because the logo says "STV HD" does not mean it is HD.

The presenters only know what they are told so might not realise just what happened.
Of course if they were commentating from a studio back in London as some people seem to want then they might notice!

It was on all platforms that ITV HD went into advert only few minutes into a game that all UK has be made aware of and some sad people not only did not know what they were doing but when the advert was switched off it went blank for longer time.
The person needs to be taken out of gallery and never allowed back as he or she does not know that if you press a button it does some think .......
ITV1 HD needs to act and show this by the action above and to make full reacknowledgment to the public.....
So virgin is free of any act in this..

yes im sure this is all some how down to the licence fee, and would not happen if the BBC was not around
Never attribute to malice that which can be attributed to incompetence.
Are the HD cameras separate ones at the ground? Or are SD viewers watching a downscaled feed?

Sure but maybe the person responsible is only looking after the HD feed because I think it was only the HD last time too.

still when you think of it from Adrians POV, he has the BBC and its World Cup coverage, to aplogise to viewers for missing goals, no amount of extra pay (which he was not given that much of) can make you not wonder, if maybe you did the wrong thing.
I've just sent this to ITV!
Dear Sir/Madam,
What is going on – you miss the opening goal, the HD picture drops in and out (apparently the feed to Germany is OK, your adverts are still in SD – so it must be ITV).
I suggest someone listens to the 1 hour build up on BBC Radio 5live (exciting, energetic, enthusiastic)and compares it with your dour offering. Even at half time Adrian Chiles tells us to calm down – we don’t want to calm down, we are excited, this is exciting – don’t turn it into some boring “professional” pathetic offering. It’s only because the time sync is so far out I have to listen to your commentators – it’s 1-1 and I’m told the next goal could be decisive. I don’t want to comment on the intellect at ITV, your product does that for you, but most of England is brighter than this.
Please hand over the rest of your coverage to the BBC.
Regards,

Its only HD cameras, all other HD feeds are ok, its only ITV again that have the problem so the problem is somewhere after ITV receive the HD feed.
