Can't say I'm impressed, freesat said this was available in HD (bit surprising since its an away game)

Anyhow silly old me sets it to record in HD an lo and behold it fails.

I caught the coverage someway into the second half, can't make out the players numbers let alone their faces.

    You love ITV though don't you Chirpy? ;o)
  • Don't worry Razil, been a very dull game of football. Men against boys really, with Spain plahying all the football, but without really doing that much damage.

    So how'd it all go apart from the result? "Stuck" in Florida at the mo, as bad as the reports make it out to be?

    Pictures came from TVE, Spanish TV. They haven't got HD yet, in fact the picture wasn't even in 16:9 ratio, plain old 4:3. If you watch La Liga on Sky you will notice how poor the pictures are generally.

    You can't blame ITV for that one.

    Did remind me of a Saturday night La Liga game. Very poor TV work from the Spanish.

    Kept doing a player camesque thing whilst attacks were going on at the other end. Couldn't get into the game due to the picture.

    To be fair, it was not their pictures, it was Spanish TV's.

    I see that even though ITV have the game on live tonight which should finish just after 10pm, they're back on less than 1 hour later for an hour of highlights from 11-12. Who does their scheduling?!

    once entered press the yellow button to scan then highlight 10510 and press the yellow button to store followed by select.

    now anytime you want to watch the ITV HD channel if the football is on just go to the other channels bit and click on 10510 to watch the channel.

    Absolutely gushing here watching Becks ping the ball about, the man is like a puppet master today. I know the oppo is shit but boy is he an absolute class act. His Range of passing is totally amazing. I really want him to score now, that would make me moist!!

    Absolutely agree 100%. With time on the ball he is as good as passer as there is.

    I love Becks, he is awesome, loved it if he'd have scored! My bird is asleep on the sofa and i reckon i'd of looped around the room and woke her if he would of banged one in. He is king.

    amen to that ols

    beckham a truely great england player
  • Andorra have to be without doubt the worst side i've ever seen. Did they have a shot? Did Green have more than about 3 touches of the ball. 5-5-0 formation. That said England are ruthless under Capello and a win is a win. Surprised he took Rooney off though as he was odds on to get his hat trick.
