I can't see this going down too well.

How reliable is that user?

There's no official source to claim such news. I wouldn't worry just yet.

There might be some validity to the reference to ITV1, given that we both a refresh is on the way, and that both UTV and STV now use DOGs. I see it as only a matter of time before the rest of ITV1 follows.

Not to mention now the DOGs are established on the HD channels I don't see them disappearing.

If we're going by unprovable rumours, I've heard that BBC One HD will be losing its permanently soon.

It came back for a bit a few days ago, but has now disappeared again for some reason. Although that poster has also stated he's seen an early design for the BBC Two HD DOG.
