I see that when ITV1+1 started a couple of weeks ago, it was added to the line-up of channels transmitted through Castle Hill (Glossop), but at the expense of ITV2+1. I'd rather ITV gave us ITV3 or ITV4 instead of a channel we already get with a 1 hour delay. It would also be preferable to get something other than C4+1, like Film 4!
Is there any physical reason to prevent the broadcasters giving us these channels? Does it take up less bandwidth to transmit a +1 channel than it does a whole other channel? If not, is there someone we can lobby for a change? I'm sure many people in Glossop would appreciate an extra channel or two.
