andy: Yes, put the viewing card in the box. You only need to "pair" a card if you subscribe to Sky Sports.

Trevor: I guess you are going to have to ask whoever looks after the shared aerial to deal with it, as the problem will be the same for everyone who uses it.

eazy_gee: If you are using a Freeview HD box, you should be able to do a "factory reset" and when you do the "first time scan" you can select the BBC/ITV region you want from the menu displayed.

Des Collier: The problem with saying "yes, cut local radio" is that it is easy to pick the thing that you personally don't use.
I don't think I have ever listened to a moment of BBC Radio Sussex down here.
However, as I recall, BBC Radio Derby was quite popular in Derbyshire because there isn't much in the way of local commercial radio.
From what I understand BBC local radio is mainly used by older people (those who get free TV Licences).
I personally liked the idea of using BBC Radio 5 Live as a feeder for BBC local radio, with structured opt-outs for the provision of local news.
This would have given Radio 5 Live an overnight national FM network, and put the costs on a reasonable basis.
It may then have been sensible to keep the extra local components in markets where there were no proper commercial local radio stations (Cumbria, Derby etc).
