Let's forget the fact that ITV is a TV channel in the UK... Not confusing at all

  For all short pithy names there is a collision somewhere. It's not really that big of a deal.

    Yes. Change your channel's name. Not that big of a deal. From: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/11/steve-jobs-to-developer-name-change-not-that-big-of-a-deal/#ixzz0wM5sPPWR http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/11/steve-jobs-to-develop...

  I doubt it'll be releasing in the UK as iTV, as ITV owns the trademark and has done since forever. The confusion will be great enough that ITV could easily get an injunction in place to prevent the sale of the device so as not to weaken their brand name. Why? Well because ITV is a video providing service, iTV is a video receiving service. You might get away with it, if ITV hadn't actually tackled the video receiving end of the market when they launched their Freeview (which they still partly own) which was a set-top-box for the receiving of free digital images. There's going to be no Apple vs Apple in this case.

    Unless of course apple licenses the trademark. These things can be settled civilly.

    Indeed, prior to Freeview (and after ONDigital), they called the service ITV Digital, if memory serves.

    May as well call it the iTelly in that market.
