Bob: Because the ITV HD broadcast from Tyne Tees transmitters is Granada. This is because there are only a handful of ITV HD regions and so each ITV region doesn't have its own HD counterpart.

Bob: I explained the reasoning behind this only the other day:
On the tenth day of Christmas Auntie brought to me ... five more HD channels | High definition | ukfree.tv - 11 years of independent, free digital TV advice
Basically the only reason that ITV HD is divided into regions - albeit larger than those for standard definition - is for the benefit of the broadcaster. It allows different adverts to be shown to different parts of the country, just as Channel 4 and Channel 5 do.

thomas: You won't get any channels from Bilsdale even with an outdoor aerial! You should however get channels from the Seaham transmitter to the west of the town, which a relay transmitter off Pontop Pike.
