Blog Entries: 3 My System: Sky+, DB 7000s, Gemini 4.3 in flash, Var on USB stick. Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Unaohm EP313, Swires Annie 204 Spectrum, Rover ST-4 Spectrum. | Yes I agree, our regional news is already 50% non-relevant, this will make it unwatchable.

My System: Mostly gathering dust cos I'm a lazy git. Porty dish face blew off the mount, not too pleased... The Sleepy Hollow pollracle has spoken! | I'm glad we still have BBC NW, seeing how Granada's going to be mixed up with Central...  Then again, the last time I watched ITV1 intentionally was, erm, you know, I can't remember!!!

Although quite why the boses at ITV think the wonderfully rural are of Border Scotland has any similarity to the big cities in Toon Tees TVland defies understanding

My System: 30W,7W,13E,16E,19E & 28E Dishes everywhere Darkbox 2008HD Sly+ V3 | It would free up some space on 2d for Ch4.  How long would the contracts for the transponder space run for? Hope they still use H and V as fringe area people usually rely on one or the other. More fun, games and speculation!!! | ||

My System: Sky HD, TM6800HD, Manhattan Plaza ST550 and TM1500 CI+. 1.0m dish and 36v motor, Panasonic DVD HDD recorder and Panasonic video/DVD recorder. Sony G800 HD TV stand/surround system + Sony KDL40W2000. Infinity USB, Elvis, CAS1, CAS2. | ITV london News and ITV News are often the same on the main points. When I'm in the South it's a lot more interesting. Hopefully when I move there will be more South than London ........ but I doubt it.

Now I remeber around 1999 they decided to murge the local news literaly from tyne tees north right down to tt south, it was a disaster...how someone in berwick upon tweed could relate to local news in york was crazy. After loads of complaints, within a year they reverted back to having tyne tees north news and tt south news. Now looking at this confirmation of TT and border....bloody hell. I will be honest, I stopped watching itv local news anyway, we have the most annoying, slimey presenter lol
