High Definition on Humax Freesat

[teddybear1873]

Is anyone in the Caithness area receiving a High-Definition signal for ITV on a Freesat Humax?

Going by the ITV and Freesat website, HD is available on ITV by pressing the red button. The only HD signal I can receive is the BBC HD preview channel.

According to the LyngSat website, only BBC is listed.

Lyngsat gives a list of all the free channels on the satellite in yellow, and the HD ones in pale green. The channels not in the Freesat system can be added manually and there is what looks like a good guide to doing that in the current edition of "What Satellite & Digital TV":

Going for a motorised dish or a dish with multiple LNBs can also be handled by the Humax, so if you want some foreign stations....

Got it going. Had to put in a different postcode in the settings. There is HD on ITV but only on certain programs. You have to press the red button when it comes on.
