I hope they don't mean "upscale" literally!

Always good to see channels upscale to HD. Great addition to the sports offering.

Well pretty much all sports feeds are HD now days, so one would hope they made a bad choice of words when they used the word upscale but who knows, depends on the play-out facility I guess.

Someone posted that the UHD test channel had been replaced by a FTA channel called Insight.
Been told that this is a standalone pay channel on the Sky EPG (£5 a month) ![]() Is this a (probably temporary) freebie that's available? |

Why is 103 on Sky still SD?
I've got ITV Granada in HD on 178 and ITV Granada SD on 103. This has been the case for years. When are they going to switch? |

I have no idea and no-one else does either - however I would guess it will be once all the sub-regions are HD as well and not before becuase they all have to match up.

The UHD promo channel is carrying extended promos of several different UHD services - including Insight UHD. Has been for a couple of weeks now Quote:

Insight HD is FTV on Sky channel 564. It was FTA originally.
The UHD test isn't on the EPG. I wonder why they went FTV, they must have the correct rights clearance for them to be previously broadcasting FTA?? FTV costs in encryption and they won't be getting any cut from the Sky Sub Club. Maybe Sky have cut a deal with them to keep them off Freesat?? However... Quote:

Still FTA - as I type the promo is for Fashion 4K. The is one programme keeps appearing but that seems to be a 4k feature too from SES. BTW: This UHD transmission is on channel 998 of the Freesat EPG on 4K receivers. Quote:
