I didn't mean to start a big debate about the bars - I was only pointing 
them out as I thought that Robert K might wonder where they came from 
(the tv_grab_sd_json grabber) if they didn't come from SD.

As to what each lineup should be called, I'm no expert, so maybe someone 
else who knows a lot about UK TV can chime in. I notice that the list of 
lineups you have on 
https://json.schedulesdirect.org/20141201/transmitters/GBR have names 
that seem to correspond with "Transmitter regions" as listed on 
https://ukfree.tv/maps/freeviewlight for example. 
http://help.digitaluk.co.uk/pf/197/webfiles/mux_list.pdf also seems to 
give a list (in small print) of transmitter regions, and says what 
channels are available in which region, although it doesn't go into 
detail about the different ITV regions (local news etc.)
