I may be a little late in answering but here goes.
The local BBC and ITV programmes tuned in automatically by your box are a feature of the viewing card you are using. Ie if you register the card at a london address you will get london local stations and if you are in the north east then you get north east local stations.
You can use the "other channel" option to tune in to a different local channel.Details of how to do this are all over the web...
If you are not using ANY card then the box will default to London settings.
