Picture quality on the local news vs South Today is nowhere near as good. We're still awaiting BBC One East which will pop up tomorrow I'm guessing?

Agreed picture isn't great, very disappointing.

There will also be a fair, but dwindling number of SD receivers being used by non UK citizens in the country, catching Astra 2 among other satellites of interest.

Did certain B+O televisions have a SD satellite tuner built in ?

It may have been Loewe (perhaps both)
 
New labels on 10818V

10364 - BBC Two HD
10365 & 10366 - Cbeebies HD / BBC Four HD
10373 - BBC One East(?) HD
 
Medion CTX tuner cards (and clones) were all DVB-S only
 
10355 - BBC Scotland HD added now.
 
10364 seems to be BBC Two Wales.
 
I'll be really glad when BBC London HD finally replaces the SD version as the latter is still Ch 101 on Sky, and meaning a lot less channel swopping between the two for national & local news!

Though I really do wonder why the London area will be one of the last to change over (in a couple of weeks IIRC)?

It's due to all those transmission masts "falling down" up there because of the weather:rolleyes:

Or maybe the Beeb is punishing the people of "t' Republic" for being a bit "stroppy" at times?:-rofl2

Its all to do with the order the transponders are being migrated. Plus London & south east population wise is the biggest area so you do that one near the end. Less likely to be technical cock ups once you have a few lower population areas sorted.

BBC One West Midlands HD
11023 H 23000
ID = 8941
 
BBC Alba HD on twice at 11023 H.
SID 8926 and 8927.
 
BBC One East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire HD (?)
10847 V 23000

is BBC Alba yet to broadcast an event in both English and Gaelic?

I notice on both the SD and HD channels one variant has English Audio and the other Gaelic.

Also the Now/Next guide on non-freesat setup's only works on the Gaelic version.
 
BBC Alba HD is testing on 28.2°E
11023 H 23000 id=8926 Video Pid=5500 Audio Pid=5501
11023 H 23000 id=8927 Video Pid=5500 Audio Pid =5506
Both audio tracks currently in Gaelic

Once all the BBC channels go HD doesn't anybody think that the HD should be dropped in the channel name labels.

Yes, the character limit on Sky HD means my region's label will most likely be BBC One NE&CHD O_o
