[mythtv-users] Multiple Channel 4s on UK FreeSat

[Alasdair Macdonald]

There are multiple "normal" Channel 4's. AFAIUI they are different regional
variations (somewhat like ITV), but in this case it is in order to carry
regional advertising. There aren't any *programmes* that vary by region for
C4.
