Probably a stupid question...

...and I'm not a fan but why is X Factor not broadcast in DD on ITV HD?

Because nothing is broadcast in DD (5.1) on ITV1 HD.

Dolby Digital 2.0 on my amp?

Why is it broadcast at all?

 

[grdunn123]

I'm just wondering why it's not DD 5.1 .....it's only worth watching for the musically challenged wannabees.

 

[grdunn123]

You have it as DD 2.0? I have it as PL2

Unless the adverts are in DD 2.0 and not the programme. I switched over when the adverts came on (yes I'm watching it - I have two daughters, a female niece and my missus in the house - what chance have I got!) and then back again and DD 2.0 flickered across my amp's screen.

I'm in the same sort of predicament...

ITV1 HD doesn't carry DD5.1 audio at all,

There is currently 4 regional versions of ITV1 HD - London, Granada, Meridian(S) and Central West...One region carries DD 2.0 audio (meridian south IIRC) the other three carry MP2 audio.

That explains everything then Daveh75...thanks
