Can I change the BBC1 and ITV1 regions on Sky 101 and 103 to another regions?

Can I change the BBC1 and ITV1 regions on Sky 101 and 103 to another regions?

The regional variations of BBC1 and ITV1 available on Sky Channel 101 and 103 are determined by the postcode fo the address that the Sky card is registered.

This has mean that many people receiving a new white Sky replacement viewing card, who have ordered it at another UK address to their previous blue yellow house viewing card, may be getting different BBC1 and ITV1 regions to what they were used to.

So, in Spain many freesatfromsky cards were supplied using a Manchester postcode, so that one of the strongest ITV1 regions would be available on Sky channels 103.

But during the Sky replacement card process, some people ordered new wite cards at another UK address, say York, in which case their 103 would default to ITV1 Yorkshire.

So the only way to change the 101 and 103 BBC1 and ITV regions on a Sky card is to contact Sky and register your Sky viewing card at an address in the UK region you would like.

But it is worth noting that ALL all BBC regions are avaiklable on both the Sky TV and Freesat TV EPGs...
Other ITV1 regions can also be watched, by manually adding them to your "Other Channels" list on SKy receivers, or in Non Freesat modes omn Freesat receivers.
