Shame ITV couldn't keep up its payments and keep this service going, actually looks like they had a good line up of channels, and programmes, and it would probably have been a fraction cheaper than what we pay for Sky and Virgin today. Can't believe this got changed for Freeview, and the rubbish line up of channels they have today.
That was because the card was removed to demonstrate they were actually encrypting just a trailer. Bit bizarre really considering a trailer is suposed to entise people without a subscription to subscribe. Sort of makes this channel even more pointless as a subsriber you don't need to be reminded of how few channels are avaliable :p As soon as card is reinserted picture clears
In all fairness, you were on CFN at the time which was scrambled - the barker channel itself might not have been scrambled if you were on the channel.

if someone brought a ITV Digital Box on eBay would the ITV Digital barker still work just like this video?

No... after scanning for channels it would just have all the Freeview channels on it.

@ROTSSisalive No. They'll get the Freeview barker that is Freeview.
