They do the same thing when they take content from Sky News too.
I guess that's from a technical reason, rather than a petty one of making your rivals look low quality?
It is - I can’t remember the reasons why, but the off air feed of C4 normally available in NBH is the SD version. For the Paralympics there had to be a special booking (of an HD receiver) made to make C4HD available. For whatever reason that wasn’t done on Sunday night and the SD version was recorded instead.
I do remember when TVC was in operation, anything from ITV was sourced from analogue off air, (with a thumping great ghost in the picture too (thanks to Westfield someone said), it wasn't until April 2012 (DSO in London) that that feed went 'digital', (although when did news move to NBH ? Not long after ?)
