ITV HD seem also to have switched to 3/4 resolution (1440 rather than 1920).
They are still pre-launch, which means you're viewing test transmissions - I doubt what you're seeing now will bear much resemblance to the final product.

In any case, ITV is planning to offer its HD content as a red-button option when the SD equivalent is broadcast on ITV1, rather than on a separate channel number, so when it comes to it you won't need to worry about tuning your receiver.
