soljey Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 How many other people sat down to watch Al Murray's new programme on ITV last night - only to discover that STV have opted out of it. Giving us instead more repeats. And no I do not have Sky so I couldn't watch it on ITV1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trout Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Do you have a modern digital TV? Most have a freeview built into it - so you could get ITV1 from there. Alternatively, get a cheap freeview box - some are as little as £20 giving you all the freeview channels. Check out freeview to see the channels. I'd recommend one of the Humax freeview boxes if you want to go "over the top" .. the PVR ones are particularly good. You can get them from John Lewis Online.

insouciant Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I didn't think Freeview had the bandwidth to broadcast all regions of ITV and as far as I know you can't get other regions of ITV on Freeview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trout Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 It was moved to ITV1 according to soljey - so by the law of averages one could then watch freeview ITV1 and hey presto ... Al Murray, no? Or you could watch "catch-up" via the Internet ^^ aka above! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Murray, no? Or you could watch "catch-up" via the Internet ^^ aka above! There are wide swathes, including where I live, that cannot get a Freeview signal - as the digitalisation of TV masts moves at a glacial pace. ITV's catch-up is nowehere near as comprehensive as BBC's I-Player and it doesn't appear to be avilable on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuckleJoannie Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Scottish media company STV Group will opt out of more ITV Network shows in 2009 as it seeks to introduce more home-grown content into its schedule. I notice it's still listed as being on Friday night in this week's Radio Times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styumpie Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 If you cant get a digi signal, then freesat is an excellent choice, with the Humax Foxsat HD box you can get bbc/ITV HD both for free http://www.freesat.co.uk/index.php?page=Home I prefer it to normal OTA digital Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
