Not to sure about the Bravo rebrand as it just sounds like they want to make some cheap UK programming to fill in a few slots around some good US shows.

Update (sort of):

E-mail received today from utv:

UTV’s plan was always to be on every platform in HD by 2012, and we are working at bringing this forward however this involves commercially sensitive negotiations with ITV.

Thanks,

Not according to ESPN.

Hi Lewis,


ESPN America is currently available in High Definition (HD), with a majority of our programming streamed in a 16:9 aspect ratio in full HD. However, it is up to each individual platform provider to provide viewers with HD service.

We suggest you contact your platform provider and petition them to provide you with ESPN America in HD so that you can enjoy all your favourite sports programming the way you want to see it.


Thanks and keep watching!

There are quiet a few fans of ESPNA on Digital spy a concerted effort of emails worked when ESPN were going to shut ESPNA down for a few months last year, in the end they kept it running maybe we could try that again. This time emailing VM with a copy of your reply from ESPNA.

Just in the process of sending one myself.

Slightly off topic but has anyone had any issues with blurring or banding on red objects on C4HD on the following programs Location Location last night and Come Dine With me both in HD.

It's not currently being carried by any UK providers, but the version of ESPN America that covers most Scandanavian countries (where ESPNA HD is being carried) is the same version we get here.
