Did your region mention now being able to watch in HD at the start of the programme?
Mine didn't, what a joke!

Well of course, that doesn't detract from my point though. I'd say that the majority of viewers use Freeview, so lack of any comment was surprising.

ITV currently have a limited number of sub-regions for Freeview +1s & HD.
Central (West) currently serves Central, West & South-West.
They are planning to eventually provide local regional news for Freeview HD as they have done already on Satellite HD and as the BBC have just completed on Freeview (Satellite HD had been completed previously).
There doesn't seem to be a timescale yet for this, it's been suggested that as ITV are a commercial company there are number of contractual issues to resolve first.

Both those services are Streaming services via the Internet, so you need a "smart" TV/box connected to the internet and also need to pay a subscription for the services.

Now that you mention it Paul, I'm not aware of any TV that has a Discovery+ App, although a list of "supported devices" is at

Do not retune when you have no signal as this will usually just clear any correct tuning that you had.
Go into your TV Tuning section and have a look for which UHF channels you are tuned to for the various multiplexes.
If you also tell us which way your aerial is pointing that may help to discover which transmitter you should actually be receiving as there's 3 possibilities in your location.

Joseph Mcgarry:
If you did retune earlier when you had no signal and it's cleared your current tuning, you'll have to repeat a retune BUT it depends which way your aerial points and which service you want as a primary service.
If you do an automatic tune, the set may prompt you for the region - England or Wales. If it doesn't do that you may have to do a manual tune if it doesn't give the your preferred channels and you may need to clear the tuning again if it's given the wrong preference - the wrong service on 1 & 3 and the wanted service in the 800s.
If you want England your aerial should point ~NorthEast for Winter Hill or North for Storeton (which also has Wales!). Although the aerial will probably still pick up the Welsh service at Moel-y-Parc as you are much closer to it, that is West.
The channels are as follows in the multiplex order BBCA/PSB1, D3&4/PSB2, BBCB HD/PSB3, SDN/COM4, ArqA/COM5, ArqB/COM6
Winter Hill UHF channels C32, C34, C35, C29, C31, C37 & possibly Local multiplexes on C21 & C27
Storeton (Granada) UHF channels C28, C25, C22, C23, C26, C30 + C43 (Local)
Storeton Wales) UHF Channels C45, C39, C42 (no COMs or Local).
Moel_y_Parc UHF Channels C45, C39, C42, C33, C36, C48, and possibly a Local multiplex on C27.
See Channel listings for Industry Professionals | Freeview for which TV Channels (LCNs) are carried on which multiplex.

Quick update - those channels appeared to be broadcasting normally at 1711 hrs today, received in Norwich.
I hope you've got them back now.
