[QUOTE="Fisty McB, post: 1099006, member: 389824"] ITV is making some changes to increase their HD offering. On 20 October, ITV HD launches in Yorkshire East, Central East, Anglia West, Meridian North and Meridian South. Also on 20 October 2020, ITV SD closes in Border England, Anglia West, Meridian North and Yorkshire East. ITV+1 closes in Anglia, West, Tyne Tees, Westcountry, Wales and Yorkshire. These closing ITV SD and ITV+1 services will be replaced by larger regions. But don’t worry – after the changes, you’ll still be able to record all your favourite programmes on ITV following these few simple steps.
