Freeview HD -Anyone Using it?

[Pickled Piper]

As per the title. is anyone watching the Freeview HD service that went live in the last few days?

If so, how does it look? What type of Freeview decoder are you using? etc.

If so it's not live yet, I think.

I've got the Freeview HD via Humax decoder and a dish. So far 2 channels BBCHD (all the time) and ITVHD sporadically, now I've got used to watching HD it's a big improvement.

Yep that's the one. i thought it had just gone live. The official website shows it as live in my area.

I think you are watching freesat.

Odd that they would prevent recording on freeview as I can record BBC HD on freesat just fine. I am using a Humax freesat DVR.

Just a rumour on some of the PVR sites like The Green Button. For me I'm waiting for a PC card / USB stick before I bother.

Any feedback on picture quality etc.
