Have your say & ask the experts

If you have the new Sky EPG (programme guide) - rolled out to Thomson and some Samsung Sky+HD boxes so far - then yes, you can add ITV HD.

This thread explains how to add ITV HD to your Sky line-up

hi Andrew am new on ere but been buyin the mag for a good few years now. Am wondering how long i may have to wait for the new sky+hd epg, have an amstrad stb..... also wondered how people seem to know when sky are doing the roll out as i dont seem able to get a clear answer from them.....(want to tune to itv hd)

cheers.

Not Andrew but,

You wont get a straight answer from Sky! They have been very silent about the whole subject.

You could be in for quite a wait though,Amstrad boxes will last....

Rollout of the EPG was completed on Thomson And Pace boxes around august,then was halted for Samsung and Amstrad boxes as it was found to be unstable on those boxes and required 'ongoing development'.

It was then rolled out to around  30000 samsung boxes a fortnight ago( now believed to be a test batch) and there's been none since!

Sky will send you an "EPG upgrade" pack either in the post or by email a few day's before you get the upgrade.

Perfect - works a treat, not many programmes being broadcast (as per ITV's schedule) but better some than none!

Thanks Clare and Andrew

Its a tad annoying that I'm paying a tenner a month for high definition and I can't get ITV in HD, yet some people on freesat can.

Although only time I miss it is for the football.
