Interesting that VM are sticking to the letter of the law and encrypting what ITV regions that they can get away with scrambling, even though they have little to no value and aren't ordinarily available by the average cable subscriber, particularly when they will probably have to pay Nagra for it.
Encryption of any additional regions / services is probably agreed with ITV. I would have thought that VM would just purchase a licence to use Nagra encryption rather than pay for each individual service encrypted.

Do viewers in Scotland currently have to make do with ITV London AD like the rest of us?
At the moment, yes, but apparently not for much longer. I'm quite surprised that this situation has been allowed to continue for so long. Given the eagerness of both ITV and STV to geo-block their respective catchup services.
