Formula One coverage goes HD for 2011
Formula One fans can look forward to watching television coverage in High Definition this year after Formula One Management announced that all broadcasters will receive an HD feed for 2011.
From the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix in March, coverage of all 20 rounds - including all practice sessions and support events - will be originated in HD, with the international feed then offered throughout the world at a data rate of 42 Megabits/second (MPEG-2).
A number of major broadcasters have already confirmed that they plan to show 2011 races in HD, with many other channels expected to follow suit before the season gets underway.
The news follows extensive research, development and investment by FOM to ensure the best possible HD offering for its global TV audience, which is currently in excess of 500 million unique viewers annually.
from: formula1.com
and it has been confirmed that the BBC will be offering the HD feed for Formula One in 2011, for broadcast on BBC One HD and BBCHD.

ITV1+1 frequencies and regions
ITV1+1 starts on Sky 131 and Freesat channel 112
ITV are using 6 macro regions for ITV1+1 (and 1 each for Stv and UTV)
10906V 22000 - Free to air no card required - strongest FTA ITV1+1
Granada/Border
Meridian South
STV+1 Central West
10891H 22000 - Free to air no card required - weakest FTA ITV1+1
London
Central West
UTV+1
11973V 27500 - sky card required
West/West Country/Wales
12402V 27500 - sky card required
Yorkshire/TT
It has also meant that ITV2+1 has moved to 179
And that ITV4+1 is no longer on the SKy channel guide and not on Sky channel 228, as that had to be removed to make way for ITV1+1. But it is still available on the Freesat guide, and I am sure that you can, should you want to, add ITV4+1 to your "other channels" list by scanning frequency 10832 H

ITV1+1 on Sky channel number.....
ITV1+1 will be on Sky Channel 180, reports suggest.
This EPG number is currently occupied by ITV4+1, but it is showing no programme data from Tuesday 11th January, therefore we can assume that the data is not available as the channels will not be available as it will be replaced by ITV1+1.
However, another report has suggested that ALL ITV"1+1" channels will be moving around to other Sky channel numbers:
ITV1 +1 - 131
ITV2 +1 - 179
ITV3 +1 - 180
ITV 4 +1- 228
ITV1+1 will launch on Tuesday 11th January
