In the right weather conditions in my old bedroom with an indoor aerial, I have been able to receive these ITV stations:

Border, Granada, HTV Wales, Ulster, Tyne Tees, Yorkshire, Central (east and west), Carlton/LWT and Anglia (plus BBC equivalent regions).

I no longer live on a hill on the Isle of Man and cannot do this any more.

Also had RTE and a foreign station that I think was Dutch.

Can anyone beat this?

I can receive these regions normally:

Look North (Hull), Midlands Today, East Midlands, Look East (Cambridge), South Today (Oxford), South Today (Southampton) and LDN. (On a good day)

I have picked up North West Today/Tonight, Points West and Look North (Newcastle) on occasions though, has to be very good weather. Smile

Only Look North (Bloody Belmont) for me at the moment. If I had a booster I'd be able to get East Midlands Today, and Look East (Cambridge).

BBC/ITV Emely (main region) BBC/ITV Belmont (slightly fuzzy) BBC/ITV Bilsdale North Moor (very fuzzy). Strangly I cant get East midlands TV through my aerial- I have to use cable for that.

I  only get BBC South East, and by bad weather conditions I get UK Today.

RB, was that Dutch channel called RTL 4, or RTL 5 ?

Usually just Meridian and Carlton/LWT but sometimes also Anglia on the indoor and from the outdoor i have seen some Dutch services on clear summer days, complete with teletext! I live right on the Carlt/'Ridi border btw...

I could get South Today (Both Versions), Ponts West, Spotlight, Newsroom South East, Midlands Today. But that is with my old indoor ariel, and a powerful booster. I sometimes but very rarely used to be able to get Spotlight Channel Islands (quite fuzzy), but that will only work with extreemly good weather.

The South East is the worst place for getting multiple regions - I can only get BBC London and a fuzzy signal from South East Today.

I can get North West Today and Wales Today. Wales Today is fuzzy but at least I can get it in all conditions.

I get Carlton/LWT & LDN and Anglia/Look East as my main, then I get fuzzy East Midlands Today and South Today (Oxford) plus the Carlton Centrals, all watchable tho.
