The problem is that the Brighton franchise also serves the rest of the coastal area from Worthing to Littlehampton, that did not change region on Freeview or Sky. Hence cable viewers in this area were getting the wrong BBC region. With these new varients, customers in the whole of the franchise area have both the South & South East BBC/ITV versions available wherever they are located.
The status of the HD service on Freeview may also have had an impact on this decision.
