It was ITV1 some years ago, then they decided to go back to ITV. So this is history going round and round. Wonder how long before they change back to ITV again as having greater brand recognition or some such.
I wonder what it is with the latest batch of rebrands all over the place. More animated screen junk amongst other things. Rebranding ITV to ITV1 (again) - pointless. So it is an anomaly compared to the BBC - so what? ITV was a well known brand (although I preferred the old regional versions). Isn't there a rebrand of the C4 names due soon?
Possibly. The catchup service will have a name change to "Channel 4". Their channels will have a brand so that they are more "aligned", what ever that means.
4E, 4Film instead of E4 & Film4?
Full time job at that. Barely a week goes by without an LCN shuffle or some channel (either "real" or streaming) changes name, starts up or ceases broadcasting. A period of stability would be nice. Was that a pig I saw flying past?They are just trying to keep prpr in an (unpaid) job ...
Service ID changes in all regions, and transport stream ID changes in some regions.
Yes (and where there's a TS ID change the whole PSB3 mux. will be affected). There may be a period of parallel running, but I'm not currently in one of the affected areas, and my box is stuck in off mode until the next scheduled on time (I wish I'd disabled that the other day, but this has all come in somewhat of a rush). I hope it works as I've not been able to test it, obviously.
Yes. The person who used to maintain all that no longer does.
