FIVE EPG on SKY off Astra 2A?

[Jezza22]

but it will depend on the UK addrress where their sky is registered....
one indication will be what the bbc1 and itv1 regions are on 101 and 103...
(i know thye cannot get these on their 80cm dish, but you can still see the regions on the EPG!)

I think it's all the same region.

The five regions are shown here: _http://about.five.tv/sales/spot-advertising/macro-map

It is the green region 2 that is now on 2D and is received by the SKY EPG with cards on post codes in that area and on freesat.

The website says ...

'Not all advertisers want to advertise to the whole country. This map highlights how we can split the country into macro regions to cater for more regional advertisers. '

Absolutely right, those in Wales would most definitely need ads for Ulster Bus and Ronan O'Gara telling us about how important it is to drink Lucozade Sport in the last 15 minutes of the game....likewise those in Northern Ireland would love ads for Cornish pasties...lol

I agree. The "green region" (region 2) certainly seems to include a bizarre mix of areas of the UK that have nothing in common. Presumebly this is the reason they use it as the "national" region for freesat.

I think they need a bigger split....

> London & home counties
> South East
> South West
> Midlands
> Wales
> Northern Ireland
> North of England
> Scotland

would just about do it.

BTW - I saw an Ulster Bus heading down the M6 in Lancashire a couple of weeks ago - it seemed equally bizarre . . . . .
