Corin: Looking at the logo, it's two words.
The "I" flows into the "T" flows into the "V" and then there's a space and then "B" flows into the "E".
Perhaps you need some glasses?

Briantist: Also, I note that industry magazine Broadcast calls it "ITV Be" as well: Can newbie ITV Be match the staying power of ITV3? | Comment | Broadcast .

hugh reddox: The local TV services can only be watched in the locations they are broadcast to.
STV Glasgow can be see on the Local television on Freeview | ukfree.tv - 12 years of independent, free digital TV advice page. It looks like this

Mike Davison: OK. At the end of the day it's my web site and I use a consitant style guide - or at least I try - when listing channel names.
The rules are:
a) Title Case For Channel Names
b) Acroymns are in upper case (BBC, ITV, UTV, STV, USA, CBS) however rendered in the logo;
c) "+1" channels are all have a space before the "+1".
d) Channel names that are sub-brands have a space between the provider name and the sub-brand. So it's "ITV" and "ITV 2" and "ITV 3". Where the channel name doesn't use the main channel name they can be linked "Channel 4" and "4seven".
The problem with using the "wrong" case is that it makes lists look untidy.
BBC one
BBC TWO
BBC three
BBC FOUR
BBC NEWS
cbbc
CBeebies
And then there's
Citv
food NETWORK
horrorchannel
movies4men
truTV
and so on.

Mike Davison: Perhaps. It's worth airing. The EPG names have limits, thus 101 on Freeview is "BBC ONE Lon", for example.
I have some database comparison code that matches what is shown on this site with others and the various EPG providers.
So, you get the Channel 5 extra channel "5*" called "5 Star" in some places, but it has never been called that (it was called FIVElife and then Fiver though), I guess the punctuation broke someone's system!
I just try to keep things as consistent as I can.

Jay/Peter Webber: Sorry, I took what was in the press release at face value when I wrote origianlly.
Motors TV is on the COM7 multiplex, which means the coverage is limited to the transmitters shown here. Freeview HD extended service from 2014 (com7) | ukfree.tv - 12 years of independent, free digital TV advice
That DOES include Tacolneston: however the service is DVB-T2 so you need a Freeview HD receiver to watch it.
I thought the picture quality was good on the screengrab.

MikeP: I've taken the auto-redirect out and "crossed out" the text on the old diagnostic pages.
I'll have to manually move the comments to the new system at some point.
Sorry for the oversight.
