Occasionally it is the cast that some +1 channels can not do this.

I've not seen it recently but is most likely still occuring.
The daftest one I ever saw was ITV2 +1 broadcasting Gossip Girl but they couldn't broadcast the sponsorship advert either side of the break

Oooh, I was checking the EPG Guide - seeing if there was anything worth watching on ITV1 HD- and I came across London Tonight, which is weird when I'm in the Meridian Region.

Anyone else had this? Are we unable to have our local news in HD?

ITV are only producing one version of ITV1 HD for the whole country, so you'd need to watch channel 103 for regional news.

London Tonight isn't in HD on ITV 1 HD anyway.

Thanks...it's a shame but also a relief that I don't have to look at everyone of Fred Dinage' (How2) wrinkles!

So just to confirm the Scottish Television area is not getting ITV1 HD on VM?

This seems a bit daft when they already show ITV London on 853 in SD.

The ITV1HD channel on 113 is now the actual transmission of the channel - rather than a VM caption.

The true HD caption now on their is duplicated on all platforms.

I got a caption with annoying drumming music.

Says it will launch at 6am.

Another really really really small change... channel 103 renamed from 'ITV' to 'ITV1'

How many years has it taken for that to happen?

I wonder if it's changed to STV in Scotland, as the argument for keeping it as ITV was always that the channel wasn't called ITV1 in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Oh and the main ITV channel was rebranded as ITV1 on 11th August 2001, so it has taken almost 9 years.

My goodness... really? You're not joking? It's taken them years to do that. Hang on, it changed name in 2001, so coming up to 9 years!

I really wish they'd put "ITV1 Granada", "ITV1 London" etc though.

It's branded STV here in Scotland, but it has been for as long as I can recall.

Correct listings would do me.

Here in Oxford we still have listings for Central on 103 - even though we moved to Thames Valley a couple of years ago and more recently to Meridian.
