Any news on whether or not BBC1 HD will use the current BBC1 pres package, a modified HD version, or something completely new?

I'd be surprised if it was anything but the current look modified to include some HD references.

Have I missed something, BBC HD lists The One Show, but yet all I am watching is BBC ad's/promo's Confused

EDIT: They are not showing The One Show in favour of joining BBC Two at 7.20pm for Ryder Cup Highlights.
Shame they have not altered the listings, as the BBC Two change has been announced since at least lunchtime.

All the listings I have have been updated.

Think most listings sources (including dynamic EPGs) WERE updated. Which source did you refer to that wasn't?

So I suspect the first ever translation of a Red Button programme to Network has just been shown on the Channel, the highlights of Wogan's CIN special Weekend programme were transmitted this evening on BBC HD.

I also suspect it was the first TV programme to be credited as a A BBC Radio 2 - Wise Buddah co production as well.

Spring/Autumn Watch Unsprung started out as a Red Button programme and is now shown on BBC Two and similar to the Wogan example, I'm sure sporting highlight programmes will sometimes be shown on an interactive stream before being given a more mainstream repeat too.

Possibly not quite the same - but there have been times when BBC Sport have made shows that are only on BBC HD and Red Button and NOT on BBC One, Two, Three or Four. (Winter Olympics spring to mind I think)

Countryfile weather, in HD or upscaled SD? Looked like HD to me.


Certainly upscaled SD this week - both foreground camera and background graphics. (Nasty low-res keying as usual...)

Yep - AIUI Dorna (MotoGP hosts) have been providing MotoGP in HD this season. Makes sense for the BBC to do this in HD (I believe that Alfacam - a very big HD resource provider who were behind the Euro1080 HD channels - provide the BBC OB facilities - so it makes sense)
