Airbase - Secret Wilts Location
On Thursday 1 May 2003 22:30 begins the new 6 part series of Airbase on ITV. Filmed at a secret Wiltshire location, the series will follow the exploits of the venerable Alberts and their crews as they prepare for war (In the case of the J this will have meant extra butty boxes and in the case of the K, seat armour, flak jackets, NVGs, chaff & flare etc

How to receive ITV Central for technophobes who receive a different ITV region on Sky Digital Channel 103:
To access ITV Central, you will need to add it to the "Other Channels" section of the "Services" menu. Proceed as follows:
On the handset, select “Services”, then “4 - System Setup”, then “4 - Add Channels”. Enter “Frequency” as “10832”, change “Polarisation” to “H”, “Symbol Rate” to “22.0” and “FEC” to “5/6”. Then select “Find Channels” and press “Select”. A list of ITV regions should then appear, scroll down to highlight “ITV1 Central”, press the yellow button on the handset and a tick should appear in the highlight. Then press ‘Select’ and you should read “Channel line-up complete”. Press the “Sky” button on the handset to go back to the normal programme.
Then to watch ITV Central, select “Services”, then “6 - Other Channels”. Highlight “ITV 1 Central” and press “Select”.
None of this should cock-up your normal Sky channels!

Nice of you to say that, TBT. Actually I'm not expecting to wear blues again - or a green bag, for that matter. Currently on annual/resettlement/terminal leave with 101 days until the F1250 gets handed in......when told last year that it was going to be a ground tour for me this Spring, I pulled the black-and-yellow.
Looking forward to seeing the programme though!

Beagle, good luck on your dispensing of duties military, I'm sure that while some might be glad to see you go there will be many who will miss your unique approach to life. Just remember that when you leave you become as welcome as a f**t in a phone box on any station from that moment on.

Although your Sky Digital receiver can pick them up, the viewing card registers you to a specific location and prevents you from viewing those channels in England.
Bug gered if I can understand why. Probably a contract thing with the footie magnates!
