[QUOTE="BLUEPLATINUM, post: 679893, member: 176530"] 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. [/QUOTE]
