    Lines right but not grammer They used 405 and 625 but nowadays they only use 625 (oh and do some tests with some 1080 digiwhotsit) :D

    I wonder if the Irish Time had letters into them about 405 v 625 back in 1961. It's just like the MPEG-2 v MPEG-4 debate.

    Just to bump this thread up again I still have not got a definitive answer to my query regarding start of BBC1/UTV 625 line from Divis. Websites only give date of start of colour transmissions on these channels from Divis. I can clearly remember watching 1970 European Cup Final (Celtic vs Feyenord - think it was only on UTV) on single standard 625 line set. Have come across an excellent site re TV transmitters and their history and have e mailed my query there. The site is http://www.thebigtower.com/live/INDEX/Index.htm

    You could always e-mail Arqiva, they might know, though I'd say any chances of anyone still being there who would know are pretty slim.

    Actually I remember reading Evesham carried 405 RTE.

    Was/Is there a particularly large Irish Ex-pat community in that part of the world ? (Wikipedia describes it as "is a rural market town in Worcestershire") Or is it a case of them just deciding to carry it because it happened to be available ?

    From the BBC NI website, note on the start of colour from Divis :
