Good idea with satellite or if your get your TV from one of the lucky 81 transmitters.
But a waist of space for the other thousand relays.
If we had a vote on this it would be 8% for and 92% against on freeview.

For Sky users press Services, 4 (System Setup), 4 (Add Chaqnnels) then;
Frequency 10.891 GHz
Polarisation H
Symbol rate 22 (Mbaud)
F.E.C. 5/6
10125 = ITV1+1 Ulster (Testcard only)
10145 = ITV1+1 Central West
10155 = ITV1+1 London
Frequency 10.906 GHz
Polarisation V
Symbol rate 22 (Mbaud)
F.E.C. 5/6
10225 = ITV1+1 STV West
10255 = ITV1+1 Granada
10265 = ITV1+1 Meridian South
Alol channels have DOGs except during the addverts
STV had DOGs also with the addverts.
Ulster, testcard only so may or may not have a DOG.

Russ, There are only 6 ITV1+1 channels on satellite, so guess you will get the nearest region.
George Buchanan, ITV1+1 was added to Sky EPG somewhere between 5pm and 7:30pm yesterday (12/01/2011)

On Sky if you live out of London then your ITV1 region is on 103 and ITV1 London is on 993.
I have my local ITV1+1 channel on 131 but no ITV1+1 London in the 900's. EG. 997
So still have to select (10155 = ITV1+1 London) manually.

This sounds like a fault with your L.D.N. (Satellite dish) or dish angle.
But could be your cable or satellite box.
If you know someone with satellite TV take your satellite box and plug it into his dish.
If it works then you know that it's your dish or cable.
If you can't find any faults with the plugs at the end of the cable then the dish may have moved due to the wind or you may need a new LDN

Meant L.N.B. (low-noise block converter) not L.D.N.
It's the bit on the dish.
I hate abbreviations.

dean: Do you live in a freeview area?
If you can get Channel 5 then you can get digital.
If you can't then you may have to wait until 2013.
At the top of this page in the 'MY SETTINGS' enter your postcode then click on 'UK Free TV map' to check if your transmitter is transmitting digital or not.

I have sent an email to ITV (viewerservices@itv.com) about ITV4+1 being removed from Sky's EPG.
Hopefully they will get Sky to add it to the EPG again.
Entering channel 228 still displays 'Channel unavailable'

Dear Sir,
I notice that your ITV4+1 channel has been removed from SKY's E.P.G., but can still tune into the channel manually.
(10714Hz, horizontal, 22 MBaund, 5/6 FEC.)
If you are not closing this channel, can you please ask Sky to add it to Syk's EPG.
Yours faithfully,
###

If the D.O.G. burn into screen on every channel that has a DOG
then we will end up with a lot of DOGs over each other. Unreadable
So they will then need to move them from the left to the right of the screen (as with Channel4 +1)
Then when the top left and right of the screen is ruined/unreadable they will move them to the bottom corners (as with USA TV)
And then stick them in the center of the screen.
Perhaps they should have a DOG that moves from corner to corner and flashes between black and white.
That would fix the screen burning problem.
BBC1 HD and ITV1 HD has a DOG, but BBC1 SD and ITV1 SD is dogless.
