I receive Meridian news instead of Anglia local news on ITV+1 203?
Is there any way you can you change me back to Anglia news broadcast?

Mr Dilip Jobanputra: ITV closed several of their +1 regions on last year, at the same time as they lauched their remaining HD regions in England. You should still get the correct ITV on 103.

I don't know how far ITV's "regionalisation" went on . Eg. the still gets Central on 103.

Chris.SE: There's been no change to the regionalisation of the PSB3 mux, the additional regions are only available on and . I doubt anything will change regarding PSB3 until the BBC & ITV reach agreement over how all of the additional encoders and multiplexing equipment required for each will be paid for.

ELAINE HARRIS: Revelation TV is on and , TBN is on (HD required) and Sky. Both are free to air (FTA) so you don't need a to view on a Sky box. I'm not sure which you mean by 'getv', but there are virtually no UK channels available on Freeview or Freesat which aren't also available on Sky. Assuming that by saying no technology you have a non-smart TV, the easiest way to get these channels is probably to get a Sky box (2nd hand ones are often available for ?20 or less) and get it connected up to a dish.
