ITV1+1 Sandy Heath - wrong region.
 

Hi all,

I happened across ITV1+1 last night as the "local" news was on and
noticed that it was showing Meridian news instead of Anglia. The EPG
information says the same thing.

Has someone blundered, or does Sandy Heath fall into a time warp during
the hour's delay?!

No, there are fewer ITV1+1 regions than ITV 1 has.

Anglia is therefore covered by Meridian's +1 version.

Wales is combined with West and South West England, Granada with Border,
Yorks with Tyne Tees, I think.

I can understand why this is the case on satellite, to save bandwidth,
but it does seem odd not to have the correct +1 version on DTT. All done
on the cheap it seems.

How bizarre! Maybe they can't afford the "1 hour delay" kit (I assume
it's a chase play server).

Personally I think all the +1s (and other c**p) should be banished then
we'd have more bandwidth for the proper channels. Ofcom anyone? (ha ha).

I would guess that the regional variations on ITV1+1 are for the advertising
revenue. Each region carries different localised adverts. It probably
indicates the lower number of regions that ITV1 would have for commercial
reasons, if it didn't have the local obligations that it (ITV1) has to
follow from the regulator. Those obligations are not placed on ITV1+1.

I was under the impression that there's only one ITV1+1 on satellite. I
posted about this some days ago but no-one replied and now I can't find
my posting* (it was a comment in an existing thread about something
else). Are there several ITV1+1s?

* a coconut to anyone who can find it.

No, there's six according to Lyngsat.

London, UTV, and Central W on 10891 H
Granada, Meridian S, and STV W on 10906 V

Ah, 'Dring Dring at 7.28pm' ?

I thought there was a YTV/Tyne Tees +1, but it seems not, the Granada
version must cover Gra,YTV,TTTV and Border, which explains why you get
it your side of the Pennines.

Because the concept of a Yorkshireman getting his 'local' news from
Manchester is the best thing that ever happened to television. ;-)



Well, that's the way it used to be.
Deja vu !

BBC 1 - Home Moss - left and right of the Pennines.
They even gave us all some strange Welsh programme at lunchtimes.

ITV was Granada (Manchester), - Emley Moor Ch10, Winter Hill Ch9,
before YTV was even thought of. And good ole Diddy David Hamilton on
ABC at weekends. Strange that northern ABC became London's Thames TV.

Oh well there you go then. I suppose I could have gone through all the
x00 FTA channels on 28E, or alternately told a Freesat box it was in
Basingstoke. But life's too short to peel olives.

I wonder how many people who get in from work in YTV land at sevenish
and idly flick through the channels will come to regard Granada's local
prog as 'theirs', and will vaguely wonder why the news seems to be
mostly about Liverpool and Manchester.

Just to clarify, here in YTV land we get YTV+1 on DTT and Granada+1 on
Freesat.

When I put in the postcode (Northamptonish) I ended up with BBC East(W) or
something like that. Went on line and found a PC nearer Oxford and got BBC
Oxford (just S. of Northampton, there's no 'natural' region, but S comes up
to Banbury and seems bearer home than East Angular does) and ITV Meridian.

The ITV region does cover here but also goes to Kent! ITV Central South
would be better. Until this thread, I hadn't realised how few regions were
available.
