Just turned to ITV2 to watch Beverly Hills Cop and the EPG keeps changing to "Captain Scarlet", to "VIctoria Beckham - Coming To America", back to "Beverly Hills Cop" and repeating over and over again. My EPG displays the channel, programme, programme time and date, and prog. information at the same time, and programme time and date of the programmes are changing along with them.

I'm assuming it's not my television as only ITV2 is affected by this, but does anyone know what is wrong here?

All seems to be well at this moment in time on Sky. Are you viewing on Sky, Freeview or Cable?

It's fine on my Sky box too but this is occuring on one of my Freeview TVs. It's still occuring now during The X Factor, Scarlet and Posh Spice are still randomly popping up.

Have you tried restarting?

It's an IDTV so i've turned it off by the socket and also rescanned and it's still having the same problem.

I'm experiencing exactly the same thing on Freeview. I first noticed it yesterday afternoon and thought it was just my TV. I've done a rescan but to no avail. As you said, it skips between the current programme, Captain Scarlet and something about Victoria Beckham. Are you receiving from Winter Hill, by any chance? Or is it affecting the whole country?

I'm recieving from Winter Hill and noticed a similar problem yesterday too, switching between the same programmes as mentioned.

Winter Hill here too.

Edit: It seems to have made it's mind up and has settled on Captain Scarlett.

Yep, same here. At least we've worked out that it's a general problem, not specific to our systems. So far, everyone who's responded has been in the Winter Hill area; is it safe to assume it is just that transmitter which is doing this, or are other people outside the NW having the same problems on Freeview?

Well, the problem is still there. It's now gone back to alternating between Captain Scarlet, Victoria Beckham and what's currently airing.

I've also noticed that I'm unable to get EPG data for Channel 4 +1. Is this just me, or is it affecting anyone else as well?

I'm on Black Hill, and don't have any problems with the EPG on ITV2 or any other channel on Freeview.

I had no data on Channel 4+1 for a while, until the late night repeat of Dumped in which all the data seems to be appearing. As for ITV2, it's decided that it can't make up it's mind again, and is alternating between the two programmes and what is supposed to be showing; Another 48 Hours.
