Default Wrong ITV1 HD region

Hi

When watching ITV1HD (channel 178) on our Sky+HD box, we get adverts and
local news that are clearly intended for the ITV Granada region, despite
living in Yorkshire.

Watching "standard" ITV1 (103) we have the right ITV Yorkshire regional news
and adverts.

Only a relatively minor gripe, but does anyone know of a way of correcting
this.

Thanks

Dave

there's only a few ITV HDs being broadcast - nowhere near as many as SD
itvs.
so chances are, your local ITV isn't one of them.

IIRC the regional news etc is dictated by where your card is registered
to so I doubt you could correct it, it'll be sky.

It is correct.
On Freesat ITV1 HD at Regional program times switch to SD for local program,
it is same with BBC1 HD
I understand ITV1 HD has only 2 transitions London and Granada based.
Also told Granada is better quality picture, bandwidth, so people in the
South change postcode setting so as to get Granada version.
Regards
David
