Freeview will get ITV2+1 instead. Excellent!

+1 channels are a waste of bandwidth - i'd rather they bring back men and
motors - that or double the bitrate of ITV 1

For some reason I can get Film4+1, but not Film4 itself, so I'm quite
thankful for +1 in this instance!

(I used to get Film4 and a godawful music video channel, but the signal
strength was always so low you were lucky to see anything.)

Good riddance, but they are still going to broadcast the same old phone
scams on it late at night and this will be an hour after the lines have
closed. How can they justify doing that?

twice the crap!

They could put their football out on ITV2+1 (not timeshifted, obviously)
and leave the 2/3/4 channels free for non-sport programmes. More
advertising revenue that way.

How about making ITV2+1 into ITV Sport instead.
