Sky Postcodes v. Local News

[willpalin]

The recent change of policy now means we receive 'local' news from 100 miles away on both BBC and ITV Sky Digital. Does anyone know a way round this? Can equipment be registered at a different postcode to where its being used?

There is a way to tune your skybox to any of the available "local" itv channels, as my Dad does it so he can watch Granada, even though he lives in HTV. I would advise doing a search on the digital TV forumss.

i have this problem. BBC is easily fixed as all the other reigions can be found later on in the channels but there is no itv alternative and we are getting the wrong news.
