Just use a postcode dependant on the area what you want your BBC1 / ITV regions to be.

Sio if you want the Midlands use something like B1 2JP - which used to be the old ATV postcode in Birmingham :D

If I remember rightly, then there is a menu option for a new install, when you enter this sub menu it will wipe the epg and prompt you for tv shape ( ie 4:3 or 16:9 widescreen etc. ) and then a postcode. If you want BBC NI at 101 with UTV at 103 then use a NI postcode, I use my old postcode from NI when I lived there, BT27 5LZ. As Analoguesat says, use a postcode from any part of the UK depending on which region you want to head up the epg.

Best idea is to put in a Northern postcode, easy one is BT2 8HQ that was the postcode for UTV year ago, but it will mean you get BBC NI and UTV. Other channels can be tuned manually.
