Commenting on the first HD transmission of the programme, Emma Scott, MD of Freesat said; “It’s fantastic that ITV are exclusively premiering Harley Street in HD on Freesat. This is a major new drama that I’m sure will prove popular with viewers.

Excellent news. Was beginning to wonder when ITV might be showing more HD stuff. I’m guessing that being a series it will be a regular thing, too (rather than first episode ‘teaser’.)

There’s so little HD that’s been on ITV, I’ll be surprised if they remember to turn the red button on. This will definitely make up for the Grand prix being in Standard Definition Ho Ho!

When there is more HD, then we will buy-until then, a waste of money
July 17th, 2008 at 8:07 pm
It’s good to see more HD on ITV, hopefully it will be a good show! Has any one an idea if the fourth coming PVR will be able to record stuff off ITV hd if it’s only avilable via the red button? Has ITV any TV listings for their HD content!

I have the foxsat HD and it is working for me- Try and start start your STB and see if it works then-
July 17th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
looking on DS forum it looks like a regional issue rather than a reciever brand issue but still what a complete mess from itv/freesat this is becoming a complete joke seems like this format takes one step forward and two back.

I have my Foxsat-hd box set to ITV london as we don’t have any itv regions in the republic. But as far as I know the red button prompt doesn’t work on the few regions dat don’t have ITV1 as there main channel like UTV and STV.
July 17th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
watched the whole harley street programme no red button hd prompt, what a lash up for the first itv drama attempt, disgusted.

Looking like it was spot on !

No Hd for Meridian either, but to be honest the programme was very poor anyway
July 19th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
It was fine on my TV. I’ve no complaints.
