No! What is happening is that ITV are creating several versions of
ITV1HD for Freeview, Sky and Virgin cable viewers - all Freesat
viewers get just the ONE region (and its adverts).

So far these regions do not match the ITV areas - for example there
is a "North of England" ITV1HD

No

C4 has 6 "advertising regions" - but only one for C4HD on satellite so far.
(Just Sky in this case - they are not on Freesat)

What about C4 on Freeview?
