It's cool watching internationals on regular ITV. The shoddy picture gives it the feel of those halcyon days back in the 80s and 90s when it felt a bit of a novelty to watch internationals on TV, and you actually had some belief England were going to win something worthwhile pretty soon.

Looking at that, all I can say is ... What is the bloody point of ITV HD

my thoughts too shane.
all the fuss about getting the new epg to get itv hd, was it really worth it. makes you think dont it.

I think that it is not in HD due the match being in Holland.

It isn't like Holland are a big club or anything lol so they didn't want to give it us in hd.

not much they can do if it's not filmed by the HB in HD as far as I'm aware Sport 1 are the only Dutch broadcaster with an HD service and they are not showing tonight's game.

Even Eredivisie Live which shows all the league games (with Gary Lineker as a pundit!) is not HD yet.

What????

I'm not sure if this is serious or a brilliant piece of satire!

If you're serious you think that ITV only show football in HD just to satisfy the couple of million or so (at most) that have HD!

ITV did not 'choose' to show this in SD over HD they only had an SD feed provided by the Dutch broadcaster. I doubt any tv company be it the BBC/SKY/ESPN would (assuming they would be allowed to) send over an entire OB crew to cover this just so they can show it in HD!

They have around 5 HD channels in The Netherlands including Ned 1. I am not sure who is covering this match over there.

ITV has always been awful via Sky since ive had an LCD TV and also it has been awful via free view recently as well. Simply down to the fact LCD/Plasma TVs require good levels of bandwith and production which ITV SD does not have. ITV broadcast in low res on Sky and use little bandwith. Its been like that for years and theres no sign that will change.

I recomend using a CRT screen for ITV. The footy on my old 32" CRt looked great.
