Weakest Link now in HD?
Now that BBC 1 HD has launched, I understand that the BBC are working hard to make the majority of their popular programmes in HD by this year end, but I do understand the thing of somethings are still simply upscaled SD.

My question is: Is The Weakest Link now in proper HD or is it still yet to move to being proper HD? I watched it on BBC 1 HD, and it looked quite stunning in terms of picture quality. If it is still only upscaled, the BBC must be doing a pretty good job in making it look close to proper HD!

I tried searching on Google etc. to see if it is now in proper HD but couldn't find any references.

On other HD channels that simu-cast, if the programme isn't recored in HD the HD logo is not displayed.

Just watching the F1 qualifying and the BBC 1 HD logo isn't there.

Re: Weakest Link now in HD?
But the BBC seem to be confusing things a lot by putting the "BBC One HD" DOG on all content shown on BBC1 HD regardless of wether the content is upscaled or proper HD. Thats why I was a bit confused as to wether or not The Weakest Link is now in proper HD.

Re: Weakest Link now in HD?
I was watching Spooks last night on 108, and that kept the BBC One HD logo - and that wasn't HD. (It wasn't that great upscaled either).
