Analoguesat, just to be clear...

This is an email reply from ITV?

And also, it indicates that ITV may be using the 2B permanently for one of their transponders, but it will be encrypted?

Thats an email reply from the Duty Office at ITV sent to one of the Forum members over at the Digital Spy forum.

Personally Ive found duty office replies that have been posted in the past to be somewhat lacking - and downright wrong at times.

My advice is to enjoy the programming whilst its available.

They cant stay encrypted forever - - that would break the Freesat regionalisation process for 7 sub regions big time, but it gives ITV a breathing space.

I wouldnt be at all surprised to see ITV swapping channels around on frequencies in the near future - if they are losing a 2D tp they HAVE to get those ITV 1's back fta on 2D asap.

And lets also point out that if ITV have indeed lost one of their spotbeam tp's - someone in the ITV satellite carriage contracts dept has fouled up very badly indeed :-rofl2

I have no idea why I care about this - ITV football coverage is terrible and I'm giving the missus a license to get back into Corrie.

The ITV channels on 10891H are reported to have ftv scrambled in the last hour or so. This has to be in conjunction with them moving over to 2B.

You're right! ITV Meridian on 10891 is now encrypted.
How is this going to affect Freesat? Can a Freesat box decrypt these channels? Or does this mean only 'super regions' on Freesat 2D frequencies?
Perhaps the existing smaller regions they have shunted off 2D are heading for the graveyard?

Won't this miff the Freesat viewers in those areas a bit A/S?

ITV has now appeared on Astra 2C!!! :-lmao

Our far distant expats should have a looky at 11052H 22000 5/6 where a copy of 10714H has appeared..... (Toon Tees / Central & Anglia plus ITV 2 +1)

Make the most of it - these will not hang around long I guarantee it - some of them are fta!
