Re: Virgin Media Changelog

Sky are effectively forced to broadcast all regional programmes because they use a single UK-wide platform. VM doesn't have that restriction.

Not a question of Sky being “forced” to carry them. ITV is in charge of the slots it leases from SES, so can put up as many regions as they want. In fact ITV only pays Sky/Freesat for a single EPG slot for SD in each region, so unless you tune manually you only see the region (& EPG info) meant for your location in the UK. There were a couple of regions missing from satellite. The STV sub region for Dundee has only ever been available on Freeview & Cable, which I believe still exists. ITV Westcountry was also split into West & East versions in 2013, with only one available on satellite.

The BBC on the other hand is not a private concern, being licence fee funded. So their decision to take EPG slots for every region may be something to do with this. Regions on cable are tied down to cable franchise rules as originally set up by the Cable Authority. These prescribe what must be available in each franchise area.

I think you will find all the STV HD sub-regions are on Sky, albeit the one you mention is one of three of their HD regions that are not free to air, so aren't on Freesat.

The Tayside STV sub-region does indeed still exist.

Same in Yorkshire.

Re: Virgin Media Changelog

ITV Hub App (finally) available in Scotland on VM for non-Channel 3 content.

---------- Post added at 21:31 ---------- Previous post was at 21:22 ----------

Note : This is for V6 (and probably original Tivo). No idea what situation is for app on TV360 in Scotland.

I just checked this morning, STV Player no longer has Channel 3 content. So both apps are the version available in rest of UK on VM by the look of it.
