SD Loss of BBC2 Wales ??

Howski · 03-02-2012, 18:33

Hi,

Just noticed I seem to no longer have BBC2 Wales. While I live outside of Wales I still enjoy watching some Welsh only TV shows.

Before Xmas I am sure I had BBC 2 Wales as I recorded a few of the Scrum V showings. Now with the 6 Nations firing up I notice that its gone :-( Any idea why?

I still struggle to see why there is not the full range of BBC channels and S4C outside of Wales on Virgin, it can't cost any more right?

Thanks
Howard

What happens when you select the channel? are you getting an error message?

Most areas can get BBC1 Wales on 864. BBC2 England is usually next to it on 865. What channel number were you viewing it on.

Thanks for the replys, the channel is just no longer there. Have they removed it in the last round of updates?

I don't think we carry it outside of Wales. are you sure it wasn't BBC One Wales on 864?

I don't think BBC2 Wales (or Scotland) have ever been there - just BBC 1.

I thought the BBC themselves were moving away from 'national' variations on BBC 2?

Are you sure, I know I recorded Scrum V during the world cup and I thought that was only on BBC 2 wales

This is odd, I've watched BBC 1 and 2 Wales in England in the past as well.

I can't be 100% sure either way.

I don't remember having it in Liverpool or any announcement of it's removal if it was.

I'm stumped... AFAIK it's never been available outside of Wales, certainly not in your region.

Is Spiderplant about? I'm sure he'll know

Well I'd never say my memory in unfailable either!

You rang, m'lord?

BBC2 Wales or BBC2W have never been available on digital cable in NTL regions outside Wales, and I don't think Telewest did either. It might have been on analogue in some regions, but I doubt it.
