May i ask what HD Television is. I don't know and don't want to embarrass myself by guessing.
HD = High Definition.
It has more lines than the current system (SD - Standard Definition) and thus provides a better picture. It's like upping the resolution on your PC monitor.

High Definition Television. PAL is currently 625 lines interlaced. There are three HDTV standards of 720p, 1080i and 1080p, where 'p' is progressive scan and 'i' is interlaced scan. I believe all three of these standards are also switchable between 50Hz and 60Hz refresh rates. The considerable amount of extra detail in the pictures means that things like sets, constumes and make-up will viewed with much greater clarity. In other words, dirty and scratched sets simply won't do!

"HD television" stands for "High Definition television. But I can't think how to describe what it means, any better than the name itself already does. It's basically a picture quality issue.
When would a channel such as the ITVNC have a 'spring clean' or just a clean for that matter? Would this be overnight, when repeats of the News at Ten Thirty are played?

Yes, maintenance would be done overnight, but was it really necessary to drag up a thread from over a year ago?

Well...er...they saved it from archiving I guess...
on a similar (ish) point.. I noticed the big screen northwest tonight use had a dirty big scratch on it almost as soon as it was put in.. mostly hard to spot but you can see it every now and again.. spotted it on the day after re launch..

Yep - though it is better to refer to our SD standard as using 576 active lines, rather than 625 total lines, as the 720 and 1080 standards refer to the active (not total - which are 750 and 1125 respectively) lines in each picture.
In broadcast terms the following formats are used to broadcast HD :
1080/60i (Japan, and NBC, CBS, PBS and others in the US)
720/60p (ABC, Fox and I think ESPN in the US)
1080/50i (Australia and Europe including Euro1080's HD-1)
As production formats, the following are all possible and used, or proposed:
1080/50i and 1080/60i
720/50p and 60p
1080/24p, 25p and 30p.
720/24p, 25p and 30p.
The 24/25/30p formats aren't used for broadcast and are converted to 50/60 i or p for transmission. (The US ATSC standard allows for some of them to be broadcast, but they aren't!)
In Australia there is a cop-out HD standard in widespread use. 576/50p - which is an interlaced version of our 576/50i system. However there is no real 576/50p production kit - so you either have to de-interlace 576/50i, frame double 576/25p, or downconvert 1080/50i or 1080/25p.
The make-up, wig-line and set quality issues are very real...
Why dont the BBC/ITV clean their newsrooms or try to prevent all this happening as it doesnt look great!
The current ITV News studio has also had similar redesign - the flooring used to be lit and quite overpowering; now, however, it has been painted to a pale colour, hence allowing it merge with the set more easily.

I'm being ECONOMICAL. I.E not starting another thread for just one question. My question is totally relevant to this thread, but sorry for causing you any discomfort.

oh I know, all those tables on mySQL databases are destroying the ozone layer again
Not BBC or ITV, but RTÉ News alas wins hands down in the filth stakes - a cream floor, dominant in wide shots, with the only way in and out is to go over it, all combined with RTÉ's impeccable production values - genius
I'd go for ITV as being the dirtier of the two - plastics just don't hold up for flooring like timber does. Not that the plastic of News 24 is great now either...
