While this may appear insignificant, I notice that the region for ITV HD has changed from London to the North of England.

The channel info shows London and South East, but the programming is regionally set to Yorkshire, which is in the north of England.

How can this be changed back? Who has flicked the wrong switch at UPC and changed this??

adrianlondon

Perfect. Glad it went that way round.

TinTinOut2

Good news (excuse the pun), ITV has now switched back to the London region!

adrianlondon

Thanks Daniele.

It still says it’s London region though; I guess it takes time for the changes to propagate.

TinTinOut2

….and now, I never see it either. Such is life 😱

baby

Unfortunately I never see the channel and therefore I can’t understand your request.

🤣

@adrianlondon & @TinTinOut2 , We have made the adjustments. The data should now match.

You say it can’t be changed, but it was. Until relatively recently it was ITV London. Someone decided to switch it, so just find out who it was and tell them to switch it back :-)

But yeah, second best is having the EPG match.

While I’m moaning about the EPG, we have a BBC programmed called “Have I Got News For You” shown Friday evenings. Monday night (00:40 Tuesday morning CET) a different version is shown called “Have I Got A Bit More News For You”. Your EPG uses the wrong title. Not a big issue, but confused me as I used the search to try and find it, and it failed.

TinTinOut2

Feel a hard done by and fobbed off a little. The EPG is perfect, but the content has changed.

However, I realised when I opened the post that there was little chance of a fix, but Im really happy to have had a response.

@adrianlondon , Unfortunately we can not change the TV signal. However, we can adjust the EPG data of the channel.

Nooo! Please don’t change the EPG; instead retransmit the correct (London) ITV region.

Cheers me ol’ china.

Daniele_Sunrise

@TinTinOut2 , Thanks for your detailed description of the error. We have opened a ticket with our EPG supplier for the correction of the incorrect information in the EPG.

The fix will probably take a few days.

Don’t take this the wrong way, but I’m happy you also see the same tripe that I do.I thought at first I was on the wrong channel!

Life just isn’t the same with a northern perspective on the news…..I miss Lucrezia Millarini.

adrianlondon

Good spot!

I just went to replay “ITV News London” (19:00) and it played “ITV News Calendar” which is some northern thing. I’m a Londoner (as my id no doubt gave away) and want London news.

It used to work properly; I don’t know when it changed.

TinTinOut2

@Daniele_Sunrise No problem, I will try my best to explain.

The channel has regionional variations for programs in the UK. Basically, north, south, east, west and central. etc. Each program is specific to that region. The news channels, for example, adn im sure some other daytime TV too.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:ITV_regional_news_shows

The channel guide displays the region as London (as per my pictrure) thus, you would expect to get the regional programming for London.

However, over the last weeks the programming has switched to the central region, yet the guide still displays it as being London.

If it were FreeSat/Freeview, you would get the programming based on the postcode you set in the reciever as part of the setup process. So London Postcode would get London programming etc.

Maybe this is also the same for some Swiss channels?

I’m probably the only person who has noticed this, or is bothered enough to question it, but It’s super annoying (for me at least…)

Thanks for replying!

@TinTinOut2 , Can you please explain in detail how it was before, how it is now and what is wrong in your eyes? Unfortunately I never see the channel and therefore I can’t understand your request.
