Further to my previous post “More ITV SD Channel changes coming soon?” ITV have indeed made changes to their remaining Standard Definition channels.

As expected, by closing standard definition versions of ITV3 and ITV4, ITV have managed make space for all their SD channels onto just one frequency.

And today (Monday 22nd), the last few remaining SD channels on frequency 10906V, have moved to frequency 10891H.

The ITV channels affected are :

ITV1 Central West
ITV1+1 Granada
ITV1+1 Meridian East
STV North/Aberdeen
STV East/Edinburgh
ITV2
ITV3+1
ITV4+1

And so from today, all ITV SD channels are to be found on frequency 10891 H

And now paves the way for this frequency (10906) to be converted to carry HD channels.

This could mean that the three ITV1 HD regions currently transmitted on frequencies operated by Sky, ITV1HD London, ITV 1 Meridian East and ITV 1 Central West, could be moving to the ITV operated 10906 frequency.

This would be ideal for viewers in fringe reception areas, like the Costa Blanca and Valencia area of Spain, as 10906 is a lot more generous in signal levels than the signal levels for their “borrowed” Sky frequencies.

Viewers of Sky, Sky HD, Sky+HD, and Freesat set top boxes should not have to do anything, as their receiver should automatically update with any new frequency settings.

USers of other makes of satellite receivers, or using a TV with built in satellite receiver, will have to perform a channel rescan to pick these SD channels up on their new frequencies .
