Currently ITV’s HD content is flagged with “Copy Never” codes, which prevent it from being copied by the new Panasonic Blu-ray recorders from the hard disc to Blu-ray. The BBC allows its HD content to be copied once, from the machine’s hard drive. See this post ITV is talking to both parties in order to find a suitable solution to the issue for HD content, that will be in line with the broadcaster’s programmed rights contracts.
