Re: Freesat Changelog

BBC News and BBC Sport apps launch on Freesat.

Quote:
Freesat, the subscription free satellite TV service, has today announced the launch of the new BBC News app and BBC Sport app on its Freetime service – the only free TV platform or service to feature these. The two new BBC-branded apps will have a similar look and feel to the BBC’s current online and connected TV apps, and greatly expands the amount of specialist news and sports video programming available.

Re: Freesat Changelog

The BBC have moved their HD channels into the 'main' EPG slot for each channel, with a few confusing exceptions applying to BBC One and BBC Two where there is not yet a complete replication of all national and regional variations in both SD and HD.

I'm assuming this does not apply to SD boxes.

So:
BBC One Wales/Scotland/NI HD 101 (but not England, where BBC One HD remains on 108 and the correct regional variation remains at 101 in SD)
BBC Two HD 102 (but not in Wales/Scotland/NI, where BBC Two HD remains on 109 and the correct regional version of the channel remains in SD on 102)
BBC Three HD 106
BBC Four HD 107
CBeebies HD 600
CBBC HD 601

BBC News HD is on 200 nationwide.

Edit

I have altered the information above. It appears that BBC One HD is still on 108 in England, due to the lack of HD regional variations. It is BBC One Wales, Scotland and NI HD that have moved to 101 for viewers in those areas.

That's the same logic that has moved BBC Two HD to 102 in England, but not in the Nations, because there are no HD variants available for Wales, Scotland and NI. In these areas, the correct variation remains on 102 in SD while the single national BBC Two HD variation is on 109.

Re: Freesat Changelog

My previous post is updated with corrected information regarding the somewhat confusing situation with SD and HD variants of BBC One and BBC Two.

Re: Freesat Changelog

Thanks for the update. It seems that the BBC haven't quite got around to upgrading all their local broom cupboard news studios in England yet.

Re: Freesat Changelog

Yep - and it's the fact that there is just one all-England version of BBC One HD that is preventing Freesat users in England from getting an HD channel in EPG slot 101. Until the BBC can provide the correct regional variations for BBC One in London, Northwest, North, etc etc etc then there will be no change.

For the same reason, here in Scotland we are denied BBC Two HD in EPG slot 102. BBC Two Scotland in SD remains at 102 and BBC Two HD, which is a single London-controlled version of the channel with no English regional opt outs, is on 109.

To be honest I'd welcome the London version of BBC Two HD in slot 102 here in Scotland. Most of the opt-out programming on BBC Two Scotland is crud beyond words. Newsnight Scotland has to be seen to be believed.
