ITV News:Now on 2D

***geoffreys*** · 14-01-2005

It would appear that the ITV News channel (525) is now on 2D. For those of us that can only receive 2A/2B this is more bad news. We have lost so many channels over the last 18 months.

sh*t there goes another one if they take five off i will really lose it , does anyone have any information on what channels are due to be moved over to 2D ?

It could be a sign, that ITV is going free to air on all channels.

ITV plans to rename Granada Man&Motors to ITV4 and move it 2D and transmit FTA. Channel 4 is likely to make E4 FTA to compete with newly free ITV3 this also means we could lose E4 completely not just E4+1, already some interactive services from Channel 4 are moving to 2D. This leaves only five 'safe' for long term but with Astra 2D you never know!

¿With your 2.4, those transmitted on 2D, can they be held for most of the day or not?

Am located south of the city and I hear varying reports on reception. As you have a Channel Master I would think you have the optimum.

Thanks

It was mentioned on Digitalspy.

I too noticed that ITV news had moved. Mind you, only a numb-nut could overlook a blue screen with a self explanatory message on it. Whatever, I'll give a

to Astra.

Well, there's only five left to go and I am sure that they could be accommodated on 2D if needs be (even if 2D is now full).

Have Fun,

Mark.
