Two quick ones that hopefully some other Sky HD users can help me with:

1. Anytime - at the present time how many movies do you have listed on Anytime (normal, not Anytime+)

(My Anytime has been lacking content for a while and at the present time I have 7 movies available despite a full reset a couple of weeks ago)

2. ITV1 HD (and similar) - are the advertisements for "local" businesses on HD channels actually local to you or what you'd usually expect to see if you were in another area?

I'm in the Yorkshire region and on normal channels the adverts with a local slant are in the area, when on HD similar adverts are all for businesses in the NW, shopping centres in Liverpool etc. Sky say this is because there are 17 non-HD regional ITV areas but only 4 HD ones - apparently people in Scotland only get one for the whole of Scotland. Does this reflect what you see on yours?

Neither are huge issues but the Anytime thing has annoyed me because it's playing up at the time when Anytime+ is being advertised more and more and it feels like they are trying to make me sign up smile

10 movies on anytime and the ads here in Norfolk on ITV hd are for the Meridian region (as is the local news, Meridian instead of Anglia) because as they say hd are "super" regions (for want of a better description).

Although BBC HD doesn't show any local news my way, just a red test card frown
