John,
There is supposedly a deal been done
with
Sky to show ITV regional broadcasting, but and, it’s a big but, that
was
before it was announced that ITV had bought OD so I would say all bets are
off
till they all settle down a bit.
If it’s any consolation E4 was
supposed to only go out on OD, but a last minute deal was struck with Sky
to
show it as there was not enough viewers to support the advertising revenues
that had t be generated and Sky was pissed because the nicked Friends and
ER,
hence all the mucking about with the schedules earlier in the
year.

Will
Sky
still start t broadcast ITV later in the year ? since we went t Sky we
hardly
ever watch ITV only because the reception is so crap, I am sure ITV's loss
in
advertising revenue has something to do with the loss of viewers on SKY, I
could be wrong.
Despite
the Sky recorder thread I still think showshifter might be worth a
try....hint,
hint Mark any chance of a review ;-)

Next week ON
Digital officially changes to become ITV Digital and the channel numbers
will
increase, I don’t have all the details yet of the changes
involved. What I do
know
is
that some of the channel number will change and that a software update will
be
needed in order to get what they’re putting on. If you have a
non-OD
card
I
suggest taking it out BEFORE updating the software, just in case
;-)
More good news on the OD front is
that apparently
they are doubling the strength of many transmitters to
improve quality.
