I'm not in Luton though! I don't have a Luton postcode!

I phoned up today, and they told me to call sky, who told me to call ITV who answered ITVdigital and said to call sky again (!!!) Luckily some nice scottish man at Sky then called ITV for me, so hopefully it will be sorted. I want Carlton Central and if people in Milton Keynes are getting extras on 963 and 964, I should be too!!! Smile

I'm not asking much am I!? People north and south of me are getting the London and Central regions on 963/4 but im not! It's only fair Wink

Nice long report on Anglia News at the moment - with a dodgy moment of a family watching Anglia (when it was blatently obvious it was from VHS!)

They just mentioned 'Widescreen format' Hah! Tell satellite that.

Not time to record it but it will be shown on the 6pm bulletin AFAIK.

Well as I thought Channel are making a big thing about being on Sky loads of inerviews with the MD of Channel and press releases in the local rag.

My parents called me last night to complain that they are receiving ITV London on 103 and their local Meridian on 962 quite strange as we couldn't really pick up ITV London anyway !.

It is quite cool seeing ITV 2 heard loads about it and now I get to watch it !.

ITV2 is now on EPG No. 226.

UTV in the 'other channels' area seems to be broadcasting Carlton this afternoon

The UTV Frequency is currently showing London Tonight

Yip, Lynda Bryans has just pointed out UTV's appearance on Sky a moment ago on UTV Live at Six.  'In between BBC TWO and Channel 4'.  Then they went to an ad break.....

.....and if viewers turn to 103 now, like you say, they'll get London Tonight instead!

A similar thing happened on HTV Wales 6 o'clock news tonight - there was a report on how itv1 / HTV is now available on sky digital and that all viewers whom were unable to get HTV due to the geography of land (ie massive moutains) can now get HTV on channel 103 via sky digital or 963 or 964!

I found this quite laughable because if these people were unable to recieve a signal due to thier location they wouldnt have seen this broadcast telling them that htv is now available on SKY digital - oh how i laughed - my leg nearly fell off

Ah, but they may have access to the Internet!  HTV have created a new section on their website for Sky!

If HTV can also be found in the 900's, I wonder if other regions can!

whataday - i knew you were going to post that link somewhere !!!
i was tempted to earlier but thought better of it!

the way its written on the website is that yeah itv1 is available on sky digital BUT if you want all the digital benefits get HTV via an aerial with itv digital - it absolutely stinks the way they have begrudgingly phrased it all! LOL

UTV must be having uplink problems..

So Jeff, which do you prefer, UTV or Carlton? Razz:

Does anyone know if there is an easier way to view 'Other Channels' as the only method I've found is to press 'Services' '6' and select the channel. The channel scan buttons just go to the last EPG channel I was on.

Any ideas??
