The "call broadcaster ... channel update screen" on 7480 has now disappeared and there is a blue screen. 7481 is still showing the upgrade message.

Both are now showing upgrade screen again now.

If you think about it there are not really any HD channels transmitting in the clear on 2D with a lot of content that has rights issues.

C4 HD and E4 HD are both encrypted, and the BBC HD channel is not a simulcast so they can filter out sensitive content.

Maybe the rights holders are a lot fussier about their HD contect being broadcast in the clear (even on spot beams) than their legacy definition (LD) content.

This would explain why "five HD" seems to be going down the encrypted route and also why their might be two versions of ITV1 HD.

What would they care about restrictions when the one version of ITV1HD would be TOTALLY FREE, so obviously they are not concern about any content restrictions at all. If they are, there would not be FTA ITV1HD at all

ITV aren't exactly known for either having competence or an imagination.

Well, I guess they could blank out certain programmes from the FTA version. Unlikely though.
