I have noticed over the last few weeks that my ITV HD is coming from the Meridian area so when local news, weather and adverts are broadcast they are not for my area. ITV1 is working fine for my area (I live near Ipswich, we get our channels from the Sudbury transmitter).
Is it that ITV HD only broadcast from certain areas? I have had a look and don't have any channels listed in the higher numbers, just one ITV HD which is Meridian.
Any ideas would be good. Thank you.
Tune to Channel 3 Which Should be Anglia
To check you are on Sudbury
Freeview Play - Settings - Channel Settings Signal Test
Look at Tuner 1 What channel does it say at the beginning ITV on Sudbury should be on CH41
CHxx ?
Check Your box isn't recording
Exit Freeview Play - Channel Settings - Manual Channel Search - OK
Change Channel to 41 Transmission DVB-T
What does the Strength and Quality say at the bottom of the screen

Yes.
ITV HD Sudbury is currently broadcasting ITV News Meridian and not ITV News Anglia. (My main transmitter is Sudbury). To view the local news via freeview you would currently need to change channels to the SD version for ITV.
To quote ITV
"ITV News Anglia is only available in High Definition (HD) in the East of the Anglia region and only via satellite on Sky (Channel 103) or Freesat (Channel 119)."
"If you watch ITV HD on Freeview you will not see ITV News Anglia"

It is much like the situation with BBC1 HD, except there they show no local news at all, just a caption, whereas ITV show a very limited group of regional services across the network.
Thanks for all your help, at least I know it's not my box that is at fault and it something that everyone is going through in this area.
I was mainly confused as as A1944 has said on BBC1 HD when they show local news it comes up with a message telling me to change over to BBC1 SD to watch it, whereas with ITV HD it wasn't until I realise I wasn't even on the weather map that something was wrong 
Thanks again.
But at least ITV don't put up that stupid red screen with weird noises.

ITV have a vested interest in providing regional HD variants because they make money from regionally based advertising.
ZZTop with a goodly driving number would be great.
