Might one enquire whether it's your disability, or some other perverse reason, which previously put you in the south west and now puts you in Wales, yet allows you to state your ITV region as Central (South)?

If you are sufficiently UN-disabled to navigate the "Other Channels" menu to watch Central South from either the south-west or Wales, one is tempted to the fact that either your current comments or your original signing-up details are a total wind-up!

Further, there is a temptation to congratulate somebody who is unable to operate a simple remote control, where the keys are slightly further apart than on a computer keyboard, on the excellent quality of the typing on their posts in this forum so far!

Writing to Ofcom wont acheive anything. No one has done anything 'wrong'.

It's like complaining to Philips when there is a TV programme on you don't like. I suggest you seek other ways around your problem.

Gone quiet, hasn't it, Phil!

I note that my comments were read, from the "Users Browsing" list, but a reply seems NOT to be forthcoming.

In answer to your "user to choose own region" question, I think that was ONE of the options that the Beeb might have paid for when they put all their BBC One regions on, but they finally decided on the current solution instead, so I don't THINK that option's now in the frame.

Yes, I believe that if the BBC weren't going to use the current postcode system then they were going to give Sky a certain sum of money to upgrade the EPG system so that you could select your own region and it would be mapped to 101.

One key on PC= four in size on Sky remote keypad, try using a phnuematic drill for couple of hours then using your Sky remote. I dont know what you are saying, Nick Harvey(are you related to AJ?) nor is it clear what you are asking about Central region. Where i live, there are quite a few Central areas to be had, I receive itv1 South midlands via aerial and another on Channel 103 under Sky.

I think the Moderator should have stepped in on Mr Harveys post at start of this page. I find his comments facetious and extremly rude.
