What cannot understand is that we have loads of International channels on VM. Yet, we cannot be allowed to have channels like STV Glasgow, unless you have freeview.

I am not sure if you can get STV Local Tv on Sky, l know you can get STV itself. I dont know about getting STV Glasgow on Freeview in London.

I would love to know what is happening locally, in other Cities. So to me if we can have International Channels in the London area, then why cant we have other City Local TV.

All channels on VM are there with the agreement of the broadcaster - that will include where you can receive them.

It won't be there - it will only be on a Glasgow area transmitter.

It called Blackhill transmitter is not even in Glasgow but in Salsburgh North Lanarkshire, Scotland near the town of Airdrie.

If it's near Airdrie that would explain why those in ex-TW areas can get it on Freeview but not Virgin Media

No. It only explains why we CAN get it on freeview. Not why we DON'T get it on VM.

Seeing one of the highlights of the channel is "Take the High Road" re-runs then its not going to get much attention from me!

Because the ex-TW headend is outside the broadcast area as agreed with STV.

STV Glasgow has now launch in old Telewest areas.

This has been explained on previous threads but I appreciate you may not have had a chance to read those replies. I hear your frustration but local TV stations can only afford to purchase rights for their region, not for the entire UK.

Rights issues are stopping them being broadcast outside their defined licence areas. On Sky, all the local channels are being encrypted, & availability will be determined by postcode area, the same as with the BBC & ITV varients.

Well, Uddingston, anyway.

Who says VM doesn't listen to it's customers?
