Alternative ITV ?

Where's it gone?
I used to be able to get two alternative ITV regions on the EPG (up in the
900's somewhere)

Cant find them now.
I guess it has something to do with the contract between ITV and Sky.
(ITV2 now being FTV)

They were available in overlap areas, but were ditched in Aug 04.

However outside London, ITV London and C4 London are available
everywhere on 963 and 964.

This is because only those two regions carry an audio description
sound track, so anybody in the UK can now access them.

You can always put other ITV regional progs in the "Other Channels".

FWIW I've got HTV Wales as my normal ITV1 and ITV1 London on channel
963.

ITV London is there for the audio description, which isn't present on
the other ITV regions.
